You're going to do great! I'm following this thread with great interest. I like the conciseness with which you explained the differences in needs that a roadie has and why the path can create more danger than help

Went to the city coucil meeting tonight.
I politely asked the council members to support the public works commision (PWC) on creating a master bike plan. PWC can't continue working on the idea if the council doesn't support it. So playing politics in behalf of PWC.
Just shocked that other speakers who came to address the coucil were soooooo poorly dressed. I atleast had enough sense to dress professionally with notes and speech written out. Some reminded me of Rosana-sana-dan from SNL. Sheesh
The new mayor was taking notice so I hope the bike path plan will continue on.

Good for you! It's hard to believe how lax people have become about appearance - whatever happened to dress to impress? And a prepared speech shows you've really given it some thought and are serious.
Keep us posted on any outcomes. Hope it's in the right direction.

Good for you!
What was the outcome. How do you think you were recieved by the council?
Our city has virtually no plan in place for bicycle paths etc. So I have decided that as the lone bike shop in the town- we need to take it on.
So I will be in the same boat as you here soon. - Going to the city council meetings, knocking on doors of the local pol's etc.
Kind of hard to figure out where to start..
