After the recent Bike Station Planning Meeting on August 8th 2008, there was a consensus that the first thing that needed to be understood is who would be interested in using a bike station located in South Bend, and what services would they like to see offered at this proposed bike station. Your answers to the below survey will help us understand the wants and needs of bicyclists in our community.
I was out riding today and ran across these two beauties. I remember them being mentioned a few weeks ago on the web site and had to stop and take a few pics. The mechanic said that they were I believe around $575 each and reached speeds of 30 to 40 MPH. This would be great for those hilly roads.
Here is another great article in the Tribune by Joseph Dits. link Being one of the people that attended the ride on Tuesday that did not know Patrick personally, I found the attendance and support from the community to be a testament to how great a person Patrick truly was.
It was nice to see that there were not one, but two articles related to cycling this weekend. The first one, “Elkhart cyclist still strong at 80” was an article about Carl Grove an avid cyclist celebrating his 80th birthday Link. The other, “Who needs $4 gas?” is an article about the just opened Avenue Bicycle Station on Mishawaka Ave.Link. Definitely worth a read.
Patrick Sawyer’s family has just created a website for people in the community to monitor his recovery.
