Here's the word from LMRA Bicycle Club president Jim Wilson, whose club is hosting the first meeting:
"The City of Fort Worth has a City Planner (Don Koski) who actually has a background in cycling. More importantly, they are letting him put time towards cycling. To that end they've appointed a Bicycle Study Technical Committee (to include reps from the "T", Police, TCU, TCC, Parks, Transportation, Environmental Management, and cyclists). The mission is to establish guideline policies and route/lane/trail plans that incorporate cycling into the city's transportation plan. The committee's next move, Regional Public Workshops to garner support and inputs from citizens who currently, or would consider cycling. The first of these Public Workshops will be hosted by the LMRA Bicycle Club at the LMRA Facilities (3400 Bryant-Irvin Rd, Fort Worth) on the 5th of November."
We'll ride from the shop to this meeting, leaving at 5:30 sharp (note: that means we'll have to close a little early). Come ride with us, show up and make your voices heard!

Bernie, Jason and others,
This is the first of 4 public workshops. Thurday, Nov. 8 is the workshop for the Central Region (see the map Bernie posted). Fort Worth desparately needs to come of age with accommodations for commuting cyclists. Your presence and input really do matter. Try to make all 4 workshops. Get to know other parts of the city and what their needs are. Hope to see you there.
