Hi all, I am new to the list.. have been lurking for a week or so... just wanted to introduce myself and ask a question.
I've been a year-round bike commuter for about two years now, which is about how long I've been working at my current job as a librarian at MATC (Truax). We are working on a number of "sustainability" projects here at the college, including supporting -- and growing -- the MATC biking community, both students and staff. I'd love to hear from anyone who might have ideas around this kind of project... This is what we've done so far: * had our second annual bike clinic (light repairs and tune-up) * made bike maps available in the library * invited the amazing Nancy from BFW to campus during our Focus the Nation event and during an "alternative transportation day" (the first one ever.. and it showed, I'm afraid) * created a "biking community" Yahoo group * had a team for Bike to Work Week What we hope to add for this coming school year: * make a covered bike rack available * have a pump and (maybe) lube available * make bike locks available for checkout to students and staff who have forgotten theirs * have a kiosk with info on all kinds of commuting options, including biking * in the fall, have presentations/info on bike commuting in the winter After reading some of today's mail, I'm thinking.. what about a display with a mannequin wearing a bike helmet correctly, with signage that gives bike safety info? (This may be too corny.) Any ideas or advice you have would be much appreciated. Thank you!
