Daily Forty Niner



The New Bike lanes on Atherton were mentioned in the Daily 49er this week!! Apparently students didn't notice that they had recently been implemented and have recieved a slough of tickets.

Check out the article at: http://www.daily49er.com/polopoly_fs/1.1775023!/Summer49er_7-16-09.pdf

Also the 49er has another article about traffic from last January which you may want to read:

Bike Valet - needs your help

Hi All,

As most of you local residents know, we offer a Bike Valet service for Long Beach events and businesses. Recently, we have had an out-poor of gigs head our way which soon may result in an exhausted volunteer crew of valet parkers! In an effort to relieve the "burn out" effect and to get more local cyclists involved with our organization, I am asking if anyone has some extra time to help us. Bike Valet has become a successful profit making service for Long Beach Cyclists; the goal is to raise money for our 501 (c) (3) non-profit filing. If you feel you can spare even two hours of your time for the upcoming events, please let me know! The times and dates are listed below. If you can, please specify whether you can volunteer for morning, afternoon, or evening (where applicable).

August 21st
Evening
(exact time and location details to follow)

August 25th
Rainbow Harbor (between PF Changs and Gladstones)
1pm - 7pm

August 29th
12pm to 12 midnight (night owls, we need you!)
(exact time and location details to follow)


Please ask any questions you have about valet or any aspect of our organization!

Thank you for you continued support!

Bernadette

new 'sharrows' in belmont shore


Hello CSU Long Beach Cyclists!
We want to urge all members and friends of cycling to come out on this Saturday the 27th of June to experience the latest high profile improvement in bicycle facilities in Long Beach for quite some time.

The shared lane markings, or 'Sharrows' will be unveiled at 10:00 am at Polly's Gourmet Coffee located at 4606 E. 2nd Street. Ride in the lane, like we have a right to, and see the Sharrows announce to all roadway users that we are riding where we belong, Bikes Belong!

Come celebrate, spend some money and show merchants how happy we are to shop where we are respected and valued as normal people using our bikes to enjoy where we live, work and play.

The Long Beach Cyclists played an important roll in helping to make sure that this lane marking was placed correctly and will be effective in helping cyclists to be recognized as legitimate users of our roads and streets.

Additionaly, we have also helped to document use patterns before the markings were applied so that later we can determine the effects on encouraging motorist and cyclist safe driving behaviors. Long Beach Cyclists are working with the City of Long Beach to help it achieve the goal of being the most bicycle friendly place in North America.

instead of a 7pm show..
it's a late afternoon/early evening 5:45pm showing.

Bike Tips in the Union (newspaper)

I am in the early stages of getting a weekly spot in the Union (our other school newspaper) devoted to cycling tips. One example is to ask people not to ride on sidewalks. Another one is to offer suggestions on locking up bikes. Locking up one quick release wheel is not good practice.
This is not guaranteed by any means, but everyone could start thinking of some brief tips to print.
