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.

I have uploaded a PDF version of the "On-street Bicycle Safety Fact Sheet":

http://griffon.mwsc.edu/~bhugh/bikesafetyfactsheet.pdf

Like the BikeKC flyer, it is designed to be printed out on both sides of a single sheet so that you can pass it around to anyone who has questions on this issue.

If you don't like the particular way I've put it together you're welcome to use any or all of it in any way you want, with or without attribution. (I care about getting the word out, not about who gets "credit" . . . )

You can find all the web pages I have put online about BikeKC, including printable flyer etc., at
