We want to hear from you as we come down the home stretch on the most progressive and comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan to transform the City of Fresno into a more Bicycle Friendly Community! We heard many of your initial comments last June and we want to show you what we have accomplished so far and get your input and feedback.
The second round of City of Fresno Bicycle Master Plan Open House Meetings are scheduled for
Lobby at City Hall: Tuesday, January 26, 2010, 11:00 am-1:00 pm.
Bullard High School: Tuesday, January 26, 2010, 5:30-7:30 pm
Sunnyside High School: Wednesday, January 27, 2010, 5:30-7:30 pm.
All three meetings will have the same information available; we just have them in three different locations of Fresno; Downtown, North, and South for your convenience.
Biking is an Affordable Family Fun Activity to Enjoy Fresno. It is great for your health, great for the environment, and great for your wallet! If you are not a fan of ibikefresno.org on facebook we encourage you to stay connected with the 2010 Bike Fresno Campaign! We have a lot of exciting events and activities planned for 2010 to showcase biking in Fresno!

The FCBC attended a very exciting planning meeting yesterday. Also there were JP Marketing and the City of Fresno Public Works department. It’s still a bit early to share specifics, but suffice it to say that the Corporate Challenge is going to grow into something completely different and much more fun this year. Tell your co-workers, tell your friends and neighbors, tell your kids, and tell your grandma. Tell everyone you know who can ride a bike or who can learn by May. If you are a long-time Corporate Challenge rider, get your team ready to represent old-skool style. There’s going to be lots of n00bies this year that need your help and your straight-up beacon of guidance. The Challenge is going beyond Corporate this year (although that core is our most-important foundation).
If you haven’t already, go to ibikefresno.org and sign up so you get the news as it develops. If your on the Facebook, check out the ibikefresno.org page there too. Amazing activity in the short time it’s been up. The Fresno Beehive noticed, too!
It’s going to be a great year to cycle in Fresno County!
