We're working with the management of a large low-income housing project to get better bike parking for tenants (They've agreed to convert a parking space in an underground garage to a bike corral). They need policies for how to provide access (who gets keys/security cards) how to decide when a bike as abandoned....) Any suggestions on where to find policies to copy. (I've tried asking the list once before but haven't found an answer yet.) sheldon .............. Sheldon Mains SPOKES Bike Walk Connect www.SpokesConnect.org www.fb.com/SpokesConnect

Hello fellow bicycle do-gooders, I need to order a large quantity of inexpensive bike lights to use as giveaways with bicycle we provide to youth as part of our program. Does anyone have suggestions for a good source of inexpensive lights? There seem to be a million suppliers on the internet, and I don't want to end up with something dodgy. Thanks for reading!
