BTWD poster

It’s hot off the presses, so to speak. We just put the finishing touches on Greenville’s 2007 Bike-to-Work Day poster. Double click the image to see a larger picture and print a copy for your office or wherever else it is that you post flyers. If you need a high-res version, email me and I will be glad to send you a copy (I just hope the good people over at Phil Wood don’t mind me using an image of one of their track cogs to frame the picture of Mayor White).

Also regarding Bike-to-Work Day, please take a minute to take the short survey that Andrew Meeker set up on the city’s website. Speaking of Andrew, check out the recent Link article about him if you haven’t already seen it. Andrew is the city’s sole urban designer and is the driving force behind BTWD and many other bike related projects going on in Greenville. As a cycling community we are lucky to have him working for the city.

Lastly, I want to point you to a few fairly recent articles about bike commuting. I’ll post more general commuting information in the coming weeks, but check these out for now:

The cycle commute gets chic - So says this May 11, 2006 Wall Street Journal article. No argument from me.

Why Should I Commute by Bike? -Read a short excerpt from roadbikerider.com's e-book about bike commuting.

Bicycle Commuting Enjoys a Rebirth- This September 2006 article comes from the nonprofit group Environmental Defense and has some good general information about bike commuting.

L.A. bicycle resource guide –Nobody rides a bike in Los Angeles. Not true, but that is the first myth that this downloadable pdf booklet dispels. This guide is intended to get people riding in L.A., but it is a good resource no matter where you live.

Thanks Fritz. Don't let the half of a banana in my hand mislead you though. The breakfast served at the event will be much better.
