Last Friday the motorhome hosted the first formal discussion to create an independent bicycle advocacy organization for the Minneapolis area. From this discussion we determined most importantly that we need a more formal advocacy organization that is effective and that we need more voices in the discussion. To facilitate these two determinations you have the opportunity to follow the developments through three different online sources (trying all three IS triple the fun!). In addition to the online resources and if you want to see this organization succeed, then you should participate in the next event. Here in the Minneapolis area we have a great bicycle community and it is now the time to harness this energy to ensure that Minneapolis is the best environment for bicycling in North America!
After the meeting, these ride off into the night to tell the city of this new organization to build a better minneapolis bicycle environment
So you want to be a voyeur in this bicycle advocacy thing? Well there are three online venues that will hold most, if not all; of the information you will need to keep tabs on the Minneapolis area bicycle advocacy organization discussions. These are:

A website
A mailing list
A forum topic

Motorman encourages you to join all!

But if you want to show your face and tell it like it is to the rest of us, then we have options. The next event for theses discussion will be in late January or early February depending on the location chosen. We will shoot for a Friday night starting at 7 p.m. The location is yet-to-be-determined, after discussing it with motorwife, we do not believe we can accommodate the growing numbers that we expect at the next event. To make sure you know the date and location for this event join the mailing list. You could watch the other two sites and that will due, but you will not get the instant gratification that comes from receiving an email with the details.
