Raleigh Bike Plan

Do you ride a bike? Or, do you know someone that rides a bike?

Do you live in Raleigh? Or, do you know someone that lives in Raleigh?

If you answered 'Yes/Yeah/Uh.../Maybe/Yayer/Si' or anything else closely resembling an affirmative, then you have an opportunity to make life better for bike riders in Raleigh.

The City of Raleigh Bike Plan is in the final planning stages and and your input is desired and would be greatly appreciated. The City of Raleigh has hired Greenways Inc. "to conduct extensive fieldwork, evaluating the current bicycling conditions and creating a Bicycle Level of Service (BLOS) for Raleigh roadways. The goal of the inventory and analysis will be to identify gaps in the bicycle network and opportunities for bicycle facility development."

Part of their process is to allow residents and others to provide input via an online survey. The online survey is available now through October 3, 2008. You can find the survey and more information on the Raleigh Bike Plan here. Click the Comment Form link in the upper right hand corner of the page to take the survey.

National Bike-to-Work Week

You may not know it because it is very under publicized, but May is Bike Month. I'm not even sure what that means, but one of the events during Bike Month is National Bike-to-Work Week. That week happens to be this week, May 12-16. Also, Friday, May 16, is officially Bike-to-Work Day.

The initiative is sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists. Their mission is...

To promote bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation and work through advocacy and education for a bicycle-friendly America.

I hear Zack is riding 90 miles round trip. Does anyone else plan to bike to work this week?
