2. Georgia Bike Summit 2010

Please mark your calendar -- Georgia Bikes will host the Georgia Bike Summit in 
Savannah on Saturday, October 9, 2010! This gathering sets the
stage for statewide bicycling gains by networking state leaders, educating and 
empowering advocates, identifying common problems in our local
communities and setting priorities for Georgia Bikes in 2011.ÂÂVisit

3. Bike Recycling Program

BikeAthens would like to make a public appeal for help in finding an 
affordable, 
long-term space. Please visit the link below to see if you might be able to 
help. http://www.bikeathens.com/activities/bike_recycling/location_appeal.pdf

The next regular BRP session is Wednesday. BRP workdays are held Monday & 
Wednesday from 6-8:30pm and Sunday from 2-4:30pm at the Chase St.
warehouses. Volunteers need not have any knowledge of bicycle maintenance; just 
be willing to get their hands dirty repairing , tuning up, cleaning,
and outfitting bikes. Feel free to bring your own repair stands and tools 
although it is not necessary that you have these items to participate.

BikeAthensâ Bicycle Recycling program, a cooperative venture with local social 
support agencies, distributes reconditioned bikes to individuals in
the Athens community who are underserved by private and public transportation. 
We rely exclusively on volunteers to recondition the bikes.

**************************************
4. Policy Committee update

Regarding T-SPLOST, Policy Committee has worked with our mayor on this, in 
addition to craftingÂa letter to GDOT Planning Director Todd Long. We 
expressed 
the need to incorporate bike and pedestrian concerns,Âincluding safety 
andÂdevelopment patterns,Âinto theÂproject selection criteria. We are also 
working with UGA on a few endeavors, serving on a RegionalÂRail-Trail 
committee, 
making sure the ACC Visitor's Center has bike tour maps, and promoting bike 
lanes and sidewalks locally. 


This committee still has some volunteer jobs available, so come to our meeting 
or contact Amy directly: amyjohnson47 [at] yahoo.com. Next meeting is 
scheduled 
forÂWednesday, 6;15pm, Oct. 13th, at Cine Cafe downtown.

5. Fix Your Own Bike Survey - Please take a minute to respond

We would like to measure the community's interest in a Fix Your Own Bike 
program, which we would implement if we succeed in finding a bigger, better 
BikeÂRecycling Program space. FYOB would involve regular (i.e. weekly, 
bi-weekly) sessions during which the public can rent a bike work station, 
complete with a set of tools, a work bench, and a bike repair stand. 
Specialized 
tools would be available for use by all, and mechanics would be on hand to give 
guidance on repairs. Spare parts such as cables and tubes would be available 
for 
sale, as would used parts from our inventory.

Please take a few minutes (literally, it will only take you 2 or 3 minutes) to 
complete this survey so we can hopefully put together a program that works for
everyone: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QGFW9W3
