Bike Manassas

So, we had a Bike Manassas meeting a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been underwater ever since.  We kicked it around for an hour or so and came up with the following areas of interest.  We need people to volunteer to work on these different areas:

1.  An organized event next year – a 50-mile ride that has a fair amount of organization around it.  We need a logo, name, a charity to benefit (if that’s what we want) and a distance.  We’ll work with all parties but need someone to champion this ride.

2.  Policy maven:  we need someone to help bring City staff, members and public along on the bicycling front.  We don’t want to rip up the roads but we do want to stop the erosion of routes that are friendly to cyclists.

3.  Bike plan revision: we need people who are willing to work with others to revise the bike plan.  The existing plan is a great start but things change and we need to update our plan.

4.  An organized, weekly ride:  Bull Run Bikes actually has a weekly shop ride so we can just tag along on their ride and, over time, expand it to address other interested parties.

Post below if interested or visit Bike Manassas on Facebook and post it there.
