Hi BWBC folks, here are two upcoming events that are likely of interest to you!

1. Using Level of Traffic Stress To Build Great Bike Infrastructure (Webinar) - September 14th

You are invited to join us for a webinar entitled Using Level of Traffic Stress To Build Great Bike Infrastructure on Thursday, September 14 at 10 AM by the inventor of the Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) concept, Professor Peter G. Furth of Northeastern University.

If you've ever wondered whether a proposed bike lane, shared street, or other design at any given location is actually comfortable enough for the variety of people who ride, or would like to ride, then this webinar is for you! LTS is an objective measurement that engineers, planners, and advocates can use to determine how comfortable a design will likely be in a given context, and the type of riders likely to use it.

LTS concepts will be applied to two Vermont streets during the webinar. There will also be an opportunity for participants to ask questions and share perspectives, as time permits.

2. The Engine Inside (Film Screening) - October 14th

Join Local Motion and Old Spokes Home for a free screening of The Engine Inside, October 14th at 7pm at the Film House at Main Street Landing. The Engine Inside follows six everyday people from vastly different worlds who dedicate their lives to a simple, 200-year-old machine. Their trials and tribulations reveal the bicycle's unique power to change lives and help build a better world. Covering many different global issues—from climate change and indigenous trauma to socio-economic inequality and more livable cities —The Engine Inside sparks hope and agency in everyone it touches. Learn more at engineinsidefilm.com. Doors open at 6:45.
