My Wheels are Turning

I’m not alone in this currently frozen tundra of Northwest Michigan. We have several strong pace-setters and traffic-dodgers who have been working for more sense-able  street & infrastructure design- a more balanced approach to spending taxpayer money.

As I move forward in this endeavor, I’ll be leaning on their experience, leadership and expertise.

And, I need more. Please, send me any on or offline organization or individual that I’m missing here. It will be greatly appreciated.

Here are the beginnings if what I know, admittedly, bike heavy. Anyone walking out there?:

• North West Bike Riot Forum dedicated to demanding safe roads for people!
• Share the Road Initiative created by Dennis, forgotten by the city. Time for revival? (More later)
• 2 Wheel Technique The art of balance on two wheels by Jonathan
• Cherry Capital Cycling Club The riders in the community
• Fixed-Gear Gallery International Acclaimed home for fixed gear riders
• Traverse Area Rec. & Transport. Trails (TART) Trails & advocacy
• Traverse Alive Community Bike Rides
• Broke Spoke Bike Coop It will be back, stay tuned

It’s not just Bike-centric:

• Michigan Land Use Institute: Covering transportation & development issues since 1995
• Bay Area Transport Authority: This under-loved transit is set to boom

As you can see, we are two-wheeled centric in the advocacy camp. There are more ways to get to work and the store than a car or a bike.

Any goat-cart advocates out there?

What organizations or individuals have I missed?
