Triangle Bike Loop brochure (gorgeous!) distributed in hub towns. Signs are up so try out the loop to see if it's working and send pics to Tim Clark for FB posts. Thanks to Erik and Laura for working on the brochure, Larry for funding its first printing at Little Pressroom (250), Doug and Erik for coordinating on cue sheets and detailed maps added to our website (Laura also has print outs if you need them for yourself or displays), and Tim for steady WBCAC facebook posts (share widely!).
Bike Parking Planning: Who'd like to work with Laura on this to meet the need for ever more e-bikes, cargo bikes and regular bikes needing secure parking at major hubs like supermarkets, plazas, and such, especially in conjunction with Triangle Bike Loop.
