Hello all,It's been a cold, snowy winter and I know everyone is itching to dust off their bikes and hit the pavement. Before that happens, we'd like to invite you to our first formal meeting of the year, next Wednesday February 23rd at 8pm at Carpe Diem (14th and Grand). We'll talk about what we plan on doing for 2011 (and what we've already done), including ideas for more racks, lanes, group rides and the like. We will also unveil plans for the composition of our Bike/Pedestrian-Friendly Business list.
We'd also like to let all our everyone know that we'd be happy to accept members who may be interested in taking on more responsibility in the group. Although Hoboken is a small town, the task of turning it into one of the most bike-friendly towns in America is no small endeavor, and we encourage all our members to participate on whatever level they feel comfortable. If you are interested in taking on more of a leadership role within the group, feel free to contact us with any ideas you may have.
Hope to see you all next week!
Best,
Josh Meyers

Handy Bike Riding Tip:
"In Hoboken, you may ride your bike on the sidewalk, but you must ride slowly — no faster than pedestrian walking speed — and you must always yield to pedestrians. Keep in mind that sidewalks are primarily intended for walking, and unsafe riding on sidewalks can lead to crashes." ◦
