Yay Bikes! UPDATE - tour urban gardens, bike the cbus, program updates & more
Dear Cyclist-Friend,
| |
Lots happening these next few weeks in YB!-land! Take special note of two rides - Year of Yay 8 (Aug 18) is a tour of urban gardens that we're offering in partnership with Local Matters, and Bike the Cbus(Sept 1) is back for its 5th year. Other events include Sell Ur Bike Stuff (SUBS) on Aug 19 at Franklinton Cycleworks and and a new Riverfront Arts Festival Ride on Sept 29. And be sure to join us for eats at the Jury Room on Sept 24, as they'll be donating 10% of food sales that day to YB!.
In other organizational news, we have some exciting How We Roll updates and it's an especially good time to become a member!
And finally, Pedal Instead has a sweet new sponsorship that puts free Chipotle in your belly and there's a public meeting tomorrowregarding the new Columbus proposal to add 130 on-street parking spots along High Street from Nationwide to Mound.
Hope to hear from you soon, and to see you out on the road!
Let's Ride!
Meredith Joy
Executive Director, Yay Bikes!

Volunteers who take 4-hour shifts will receive a FREE Chipotle burrito, and EVERYONE who bikes to an event will receive a Buy-One-Get-One coupon!

As reported by the Columbus Underground, The City of Columbus Department of Public Service has announced the addition of 130 on-street parking spots to the downtown High Street corridor between Nationwide Blvd. and Mound St. The public is invited to a meeting tomorrow to learn more about the proposal:
Thursday August 2, 5-7 pm; Presentation at 5:30 PM
Mid Ohio Regional Planning Commission
Scioto Conference Room
111 Liberty Street, Suite 100
Columbus, OH 43215
Yay Bikes! will be in attendance. We oppose the plan because we believe that it will slow bus traffic, cause cyclists to ride unsafely in the door zone and attract more motor vehicle traffic to downtown.
