Ride Somewhere Far
by Claire Bangser 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Hi Think Tankers - I have recently co-written and published a book called *Ride Somewhere Far: The Adventurer's Guide to Mindful Bike Touring<http://www.lulu.com/shop/claire-bangser-and-brandon-hill/ride-somewhere-far…> *. It's a guidebook for new cyclists interested in using their bicycle as a vehicle for discovering, learning from, and creating the world they wish to live in. It combines personal narrative with practical touring advice and relevant resources for the aspiring two-wheeled traveler. Our project (called The Wise Routes Project<http://wiseroutes.wordpress.com>) leading into publishing this book has been super DIY. As recent college grads, we raised funds through a Kickstarter campaign<http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/beehill/the-wise-routes-project>(and outside donations) last year that funded book planning/research during our 3 month bike tour down the Pacific coast. All of the time that has gone into creating the book has been completely volunteer, including the writing, illustrations, 12 young cyclist "journal" contributions, and the help of 4 excellent volunteer editors from the cycling and alternative education spheres. We've self-published the book on Lulu's online marketplace<http://www.lulu.com/shop/claire-bangser-and-brandon-hill/ride-somewhere-far…>and now we'd love your help spreading the word to anyone you think might be interested in checking it out. It is specifically written for a young audience, first time tourers with no assumed cycling experience who may want to use a tour to create cool projects or deepen their studies. If you'd like to pick up a copy (only $12!), you can find it online here<http://www.lulu.com/shop/claire-bangser-and-brandon-hill/ride-somewhere-far…> and if you'd like to buy a bulk order (for your bike shop!), send me an email and we can arrange a discount. Thanks in advance for helping us get our book into the right hands and for being the source of so much cool information during this research and writing process. Happy tailwinds, Claire PS- Sorry if this is a repeat message. I'm not sure if the first one went through! -- *Claire Bangser* cjbangser(a)gmail.com clairebangser.com wiseroutes.wordpress.com LIKE The Wise Routes Project on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TheWiseRoutesProject

rewarding volunteers & members/discounts on bike parts
by carlvoss＠mac.com 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

At the Des Moines Bicycle Collective, we're reviewing our volunteer and member guidelines for special orders of parts and bike tools. Currently, we offer cost plus 30% on orders, which we believe matches what most cyclists could find on Internet sites. Typically, it's replacement bottom brackets, upgrades to fenders, handlebars or derailleurs. We get some Park tools ordered after completing maintenance classes. Our members ($40 annual membership) can quality for up to cost plus 10%. There is no threshold of volunteer hours for this discount, which is probably worth a second look. I see that at Community Cycles in Boulder, volunteers need to book 100 hours before earning an increased wholesale benefit (no hint of percent not noted on website). What's working for your nonprofit while maintaining good relationships with your local bike shops? Thanks. Carl Des Moines Bicycle Collective carlvoss(a)mac.com Mobile: 515-210-0237

The buffered bikeway is now in the ground on Fell Street between Scott and Baker streets - providing much more room for the thousands of daily bike commuters on this stretch.

Bike Parking Code Improvements Thanks to the advocacy of your SF Bicycle Coalition, the SF Planning Department is considering ways to strengthen the requirements for bike parking in new buildings. Right now, the law requires a few spots, but the Planning Department has been hard at work coming up with even stronger and more clear language to help make sure San Francisco is building for the growing number of people who bike to work and play. Do you have ideas on how the city could make bike parking even better? How many bike parking spots should be required for every new apartment built? Take a look at sfbike.org/planningcode<http://www.sfbike.org/planningcode&org=451&lvl=100&ite=1659&lea=670621&ctr=…>and let us know what you like and what could be better.

RSVP to volunteer(a)sfbike.org *** Thursday, November 29th *** *Community Meeting – Parking Management for the Northeast Mission ** *6:30–8pm | John O’Connell High School Auditorium, 2355 Folsom Street* Whether you groove to Joni Mitchell or Talking Heads, you've got to love a story about a parking lot that becomes a park, especially in a neighborhood without enough open space. But the happy transformation of the PUC parking lot on 17th Street and Shotwell into a new park and gardens for the community isn't without a measure of stress -- the Northeast Mission is already parked-up much of the time, and the neighborhood's largely unmanaged parking is likely to get even more congested and challenging, with distracted circling and double-parking and traffic turbulence slowing transit and making streets more hazardous for bicycling and walking (among the many headaches). As part of the approval process for the new park, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) was asked to develop a proposal to better manage parking in the Northeast Mission. The SFMTA invites you to get involved to shape the best plan possible -- they will be re-introducing the planning process at a community meeting this week: Join your neighbors at this meeting to learn more about the project and how you can be involved. And visit the NE Mission project web page<http://www.sfbike.org/redirector.html?redirect=http://www.sfmta.com/cms/pne…>to sign up to the project email list and learn other ways to get connected, or email parkingplanning(a)sfmta.com, or call 415-701-4213. *** Saturday, December 1st *** *Family Biking: Bike to School Practice Training* *TBD* Learn how to ride to school with your children with our on-road course.
