Kansas City Bicycle Log

Posts, email, and ideas related to bicycling and bicycle advocacy.



I post these mostly for my own convenience in being able to keep them archived and searchable, but if you get some use of them, more power to you!

Among other interesting items here is a fairly complete record of my involvement with the grassroots effort in support of the BikeKC initiative in the Summer of 2002.

You can find everything from press releases to letters to the city council to exhortations to other bicyclists to write letters to the editor. See what worked well and what caused us problems in the effort to pass BikeKC.

From my point of view, this was almost a picture-perfect grass-roots movement. The result was that BikeKC was passed on August 15th, 2002.

Now we have to work to make sure the plan becomes reality!

Most of that is in the 8/25/2002-8/31/2002 archive.

The 3rd guest for the Walt Bodine Show, along with Mike Hendricks and Aaron Bartlett, is Councilman Ed Ford.

So this will be a good chance for us to let Councilman Ford hear our viewpoint.

But let me just remind you to PLEASE be polite and considerate of his views, and please be sure to thank him for allowing the issue to come up for re-consideration in the Planning & Zoning Committee.

I keep hearing from various sources that our respectful and polite approach is having a good influence on those council members who oppose BikeKC. This will be a good chance to continue that.

The Walt Bodine Show is on KCUR, 89.3 FM, tomorrow (Tuesday) at 10-11AM. Listener line is (816) 235-2888.
