Message from New Orleans: 'The Unseen Faces of Bicycling' Bicycling Advocacy Around the Globe: London Who Knows Where the Traffic Goes? Oak Park Shop By Bike a Winner New Faces in Bicycling Advocacy |
The Chicagoland Bicycle Federation invites members and the general public to reflect and advise the organization on its future plans at the Annual Membership Meeting on Monday, Oct. 24, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Everybody in attendance is automatically entered to win a vintage bicycle from Working Bikes Cooperative. The region’s leading voice for bicycle advocacy also will unveil its 2006 Top 10 Initiatives, detailing the organization’s primary areas of focus in the Chicago metropolitan area for the coming year. The meeting, which is free and open to the public, takes place at the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington St., fifth floor. For more information, contact Dan Korman at (312) 427-3325, ext. 224, or dan@biketraffic.org, or visit www.biketraffic.org. To help clothe evacuees from the flooding and hurricane damage in the Gulf Coast, the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation last month donated 30 boxes of past-event T-shirts to the Salvation Army for distribution. “We have quite a bit of shirts left over from previous years’ events,” said CBF Events Production Director Cynthia Hodur. “It’s the least we could do as an organization to send these along to those in need.” Tired of watching evening news programs that ignore issues of concern to bicyclists and pedestrians? Well, there’s a new television program in town. The Chicagoland Bicycle Federation is getting its own live call-in television show on Chicago Access Network Television, a non-profit organization established in 1983 to administer the use of Chicago's public access channels. Beginning Oct. 6 and continuing every Thursday (except Thanksgiving) through Dec. 22, Bike Traffic Managing Editor David Callahan will interview guests and field phone calls on "Bike Traffic Live" at 5 p.m. cable channel 21. CBF is looking into posting the show online.
