Interesting note that I talked with Perry Keller on Friday and commented on how great the story was. He mentioned that he, Richard Warner, and Rob Pennington (all WVDOH Planning & Research guys) were in the video and everyone tries to do this at least every Friday. Honestly I was surprised but thrilled to hear this.

[image: Ride on!]The ride was great! The state and federal employees who rode with us were wonderful and out numbered us!!! They were genuine folks who are interested in our input. I am not sure what more we could ask for in regards to our state and federal representatives. We are excited to work with these guys and are grateful for their ride invitation!

If you have questions or comments, please feel free to email Kim Broughton at kimberlyjoshi@gmail.com.

*Legislative committee off to a great start.*

The initial gathering of individuals interested in pursuing legislative change to enhance cycling safety met last Friday after the ride with DOT.

Steve Fowler, Bill Nottingham, Greg Garrett, Kim Broughton, Dennis Strawn, Todd West, Frank Gmeindl and John Francis attended the meeting and agreed on a plan of action for pursing legislative change.

It is so important that we present a consistent and coordinated message when dealing with legislative changes. We are working on documenting the plan of action and will distribute it soon!

We welcome all comments, suggestions and help!

*Thanks John! Got this from the City of Lewisburg. Can you help folks learn about our helmet education?*

"John Francis was in City Hall yesterday to give me the helmet law brochure and poster.

The Chief of Police Tim Stover would like as many brochures as you can spare.

He would like to distribute to the elementary school and also have some in cruisers.

We would also like to order 6 posters for the police station and school, etc.

Kathy Hoke

City of Lewisburg "

*Totally awesome! Thanks John for being such a great ambassador!*
