Bike to work week review

o “How about a bike swap?”
o “change name to Bicycle Celebration Week”
o “Bike racks from around the world”
o “YMCA, Schools, and CRPR need to be involved”
o “Odd time. Maybe we could do it after the Students left, instead of trying to fit them in?”
· Comments for making next year better included
o Make a postcard flyer that you mail to peoples’ place of employment. Read -> “bike to work week”
o Team up with other organizations like YMCA, CRPR, and the Schools
o Start Earlier
Discussion shifted to Safe Routes to School

Things to do in the future
· Make a Facebook Page for CRBC
