When: Saturday, May 31st, 6pm to 2am ADVOCACY STATEMENT - Recognizing that Yellow Bike's mission is only worthwhile if adequate bicycling facilities are available, we have devised an Advocacy Statement of support for the continued development of bicycle facilities in Austin. This statement will serve two purposes: 1) to inform City Council, staff, and other interested parties of YBP’s general positions on all issues that affect bicyclists, and 2) to guide YBP’s position on all specific issues affecting bicyclists that arise within the City. Stay tuned for news on upcoming issues and ways you can help improve cycling in Austin! Thanks to Jen Duthie serving as Transportation Chair on our Representative Council for making this happen. You can read our Advocacy Statement online. YBP SURVEY - Click here to take the survey now! We've recently been thinking of ways to gauge what kind of impact the Yellow Bike Project has on the cycling community in a city like Austin. We hope that our free bike repair workshops empower people, like few other education efforts can, to depend on their bikes for transportation. Still, we're always interested in getting feedback on our effectiveness as an organization and new ideas on how to better realize our vision. |
