Yesterday's Dominion Post had this editorial from a beleagered Morgantown pedestrian. If you can relate, consider volunteering with us to help raise pedestrian awarenes. If you drive, observe the posted speed limits and give all your attention to driving and watching out for others - even if they're not in a car.
With the Christmas Bikes behind us and the holiday break ahead, it's time to reflect on the year past and plan for the year ahead. I am in the process of drafting our 2010 event/milestone calendar (thanks to WVU student volunteer Harry Shaffer for putting it on the web). If you have an event you'd like us to participate in please send me an email with information (date, time, description) and we'll add it to the list.
We are still looking for qualified and committed boardmember volunteers who are passionate about transforming Morgantown transportation in ways that make our city more liveable, sustainable and inclusive of all citizens. Contact me if you share our passion and can contribute your time and resources.
I'll be on vacation and the shop will be closed from Dec 24 to Jan 6 (resuming normal Winter hours Jan 7), but I'll have the phone with me in case you need to reach me. I'll be travelling (in a rented car) to see family in Wisconsin and plan to post updates as time permits. I wish the best to you, your family and all your loved ones. I look forward to working with you in the new year in positive and joyful ways that improve our city with the best and most sustainable mobility.
We've got a couple of great new volunteers joining us in the New Year. Duncan, an experienced shop mechanic and mountain biker will be helping supervise shop hours. Jessica, a WVU Masters' student in Public Administration will be helping us out. She's particularly welcome after her previous experience as an intern at the Alliance for Biking and Walking. We're grateful to them for sharing their passion for sustainable transportation and making Morgantown a better place to live and get around.
