Hi All-
My impression from the meeting on Thursday was Matt was supposed to facilitate the delivery of the Positive Spin rack to Suncrest Middle since it was his initiative to begin with. Frank was going to pass on Matt/ Jack's (his father) phone number to follow up with him.
It sounds like the PS rack is available and the Suncrest principal is OK with locating the rack there so we just need Matt to take the initiative. Then, if folks want to raise funds to get a more suitable rack installed later, it can be replaced.
Has anyone made headway on raising funds/ a plan for getting a different rack in place? If not, I'd suggest connecting Matt/ Jack with Damien to arrange delivery of the PS rack.

Do you want me to see about getting the Positive Spin bicycle rack delivered to Suncrest Middle or should I wait to see if you get enough donations to purchase a new one?

Let's select a rack we can be proud of, then ask around For donations, I'll kick in some and Ask some neighbors. Maybe ask some parents at the school to donate, put up a plaque..
How much do we need, which rack?

Jonathan,
Could you send me a couple pictures of the bike rack at Positive Spin for South Middle. I spoke with Principal Napolillo briefly this morning about getting the rack over to the school and want is going to need to be done once it is there. He had some questions that I couldn't answer since I've never seen the rack. Thanks.

When it comes to rack design, I
advocate for the guidelines the ABPB recommends. There is a good
list at
http://www.bicyclinginfo.org/engineering/parking.cfm
: support the frame of the bicycle and not just one wheel
allow the frame and one wheel to be locked to the rack when
both wheels are left on the bike
allow the frame and both wheels to be locked to the rack if
the front wheel is removed
allow the use of either a cable or U-shaped lock
be securely anchored
be usable by bikes with no kickstand
be usable by bikes with water bottle cages
be usable by a wide variety of sizes and types of bicycle I will soon be taking action on getting the PS rack to Suncrest
Middle School. It was my Alma Mater, afterall, the one where I
was not allowed to park my bicycle. Matt's victory is
significant, emphasize that to Chelsea.
However, I would like well designed racks to be installed
because they encourage bicycle parking. Comb and toast racks
really aren't suitable for a school environment.

Option number two: Dero MR 12 Rack. This rack is more substantial and would hold 12 bicycles and would be easier to bolt to the ground. Price would be $400.
I would be interested to see if budget dollars could be used for this purpose and or would also be interested in helping put a citizen pool to get one of these racks installed at the school.
There are other options but these two give a good idea of a basic and nicer version of the rack debate.
Thanks,
Andrew
