Annual Meeting on Tuesday, January 31, 2006 We invite you to attend BikeHouston’s Annual Meeting on Tuesday, January 31, 2006, at 6:30 p.m., at the Houston Environmental Center, 3015 Richmond, 1st floor conference room to meet us and join our efforts to make Houston safe and accessible for cyclists. Food and refreshments will be provided. Robin Stallings, Executive Director from Bike Texas/Texas Bicycle Coalition will be the feature speaker. A bike map will be on display to show the future ideas on bikeway connectivity. Your input is needed!
BikeHouston is a local Houston organization promoting bike access, safe bicycling, education, and public awareness of the personal and community benefits of cycling.
During the past year, some of our accomplishments have been:
· Continued to work with the City of Houston in order to complete Phase I of the Houston Bikeway Network and actively campaigned to give the Columbia Tap a final push through City Council
· Developed a framework of ideas for increasing bike connectivity around the Houston area
· Over 1,200 riders participated in the 33rd Annual Houston Moonlight Bicycle Ramble, raising money to be used to promote bicycle awareness and education in the Houston Area
· Presented at Metro Board meetings and met with Metro staff for bike racks on buses to promote multi-modal transportation opportunities
· Promoted Bike to Work Day rides along with the City of Houston
· Participated in numerous safety fairs promoting cycling safety and education
· Gave continuous feedback to the city and county on ways to enhance the existing bikeway system
· Formulated an Action Plan for 2006 that involves bike connectivity, safety and encouragement to increase cycling awareness.
We have scheduled our first Bike Ed Road One class for February 1, 2006 and we anticipate holding at least one of these classes each quarter in 2006. Please see the website for details.
Membership in BikeHouston as well as your personal involvement in BikeHouston will help us accomplish the goals and activities our organization represents. Please visit our website at www.bikehouston.org for additional information.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Sincerely,
Woody Speer
