Annual Meeting and Member Party set for Saturday July 30!

Our Annual Meeting and Member Party is Saturday July 30 at 7 PM! So mark
your calendars, start getting excited, and donât be fooled by the word
âmeetingâ in the title- this is also a party to celebrate our members, all
the things YOU have helped us accomplish, and our 20th Anniversary!!!
Friends and non BikeAthens members are of course welcome as well, so
invite your friends and family too! We will have snacks, a terrapin keg,
speakers, and general good times in our NEW BRP and office space at 160
Tracy Street (itâs right next to our old space, in case any regulars were
wondering). You will also have the opportunity to contribute to our future
success by voting for our new board members and either becoming a member
or renewing your membership!
***********************************************************
BikeAthens releases Traffic Calming Solutions Manual!

The Traffic Calming Solutions manual describes in easy to understand
language how to navigate through the cityâs Neighborhood Traffic
Management Program (NTMP).  This program is the cityâs method for
obtaining safer street infrastructure within your neighborhood.  Prepared
by Katie Goodrum for BikeAthens, it illustrates the vast array of traffic
calming solution options, in order to improve pedestrian safety and create
more pleasant neighborhoods for the citizens of Athens. Download a copy
here!

Volunteers needed for Commuter Assistance Day THIS SATURDAY July 16, or
just stop by and see us!

Come join us at our 4th Commuter Assistance Day at the Farmers Market THIS
Saturday! Itâs a great opportunity to meet people and learn about car-free
commuting in Athens. We are also looking for volunteers with basic bike
maintenance skills to help out with our activities (think route planning,
demonstrations of bike maintenance skills, etc). Email
admin [at] bikeathens.com if you are interested in volunteering, we ask
volunteers for just a 1-2 hour commitment.

BikeAthens recruiting new board members- deadline THIS FRIDAY

BikeAthens is currently recruiting new board members to begin one year
terms starting this August. It is a great way to get involved in your
community, contribute to a great cause, and get valuable experience in the
not for profit world. If you think you might be interested, email
chair [at] bikeathens.com to learn more. And note that our application deadline
is TOMORROW, FRIDAY JULY 15

BRP Volunteer Opportunities

BRP workdays are held Mondays & Wednesdays from 6-8 PM and Sundays from
2-4:30 PM 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.

BikeAthens' 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.
