Bicycle Board Members,
An article entitled, "Morgantown ads sidewalk bike parking" appeared in today's Dominion Post that is so different from the press release that I sent them that I'm compelled to send you that which I sent them. Please see attached.

Frank,
As an announcement to the general public, I prefer Bob Gay's rendition much better. I would have suggested some improvements to your press release if it had been presented to the Bicycle Board.

I've written a few press releases at work and these changes don't surprise me. The original release was too long and personal.
I think the DP's version is fine and nice.

Frank and all, newspapers often change releases in unpredictable ways.
Let's not miss a chance to celebrate. Congratulations guys and girls! You accomplished something cyclists had tried to convince the city of for years! And these look great. Also, it's wonderful that the Kingwood folks made these. Maybe someone could help them market these in cycling magazines, town planning mags, etc. One good one would be "Parks and Recreation" which sells to park administrators around the country. Ask Dan Boroff and Jeff what professional journals they read.
It would be great to be able to say that cycling is bringing jobs to WV!
