Great news! The City of Alameda has been awarded Bronze-level status as a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists. Here is a link to the LAB's May 16 blog post: http://blog.bikeleague.org/blog/ Here is the PDF of all new and renewed BFCs: http://blog.bikeleague.org/blog//blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Spring12BFC1.pdf Cyclists here in the City of Alameda have been working hard since the city developed its first bike plan in 1999 to make our island community a safer and more convenient place to ride for all. Many thanks to BikeAlameda co-founders Lucy Gigli and Dan Wood, and to all the other activists who helped push the City of Alameda to install bike lanes, bike parking, the Estuary Crossing Shuttle, and other improvements. And many thanks to the city staff and elected officials who have helped may Alameda more bike friendly. We still have a long way to go but we are on our way. http://www.cityofalamedaca.gov/ http://www.bikealameda.org http://www.ebbc.org Jon Spangler Writer/editor Linda Hudson Writing TEL 510-864-2144 CEL 510-846-5356 [email protected] www.linkedin.com/in/jonmspangler www.twitter.com/jonmspangler "She who succeeds in gaining the mastery of the bicycle will gain the mastery of life." —Frances E.
