<p style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; min-height: 1em; orphans: 2; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em 0px;">This has been a challenging time for us. The Chainlink loves group rides, getting out on the bike, hanging with friends. During a pandemic, that can be terribly tricky. Here are some guidelines to help you navigate getting an event approved:</p>
<p style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; min-height: 1em; orphans: 2; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em 0px;">1. <strong>Mask requirements</strong> - have your riders wear masks on your rides. Say it in the event description.</p>
<p style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; min-height: 1em; orphans: 2; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em 0px;">2. <strong>Social distancing</strong> - encourage keeping safe distance from one another to avoid spray and spread.</p>
<p style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; min-height: 1em; orphans: 2; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em 0px;">3. <strong>Limit the numbers*</strong> - put a cap on the number of people and/or make a plan to split the ride into safer, smaller groups. If this is impossible and you expect hundreds, is this a good idea to hold a ride?</p>
<p style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; min-height: 1em; orphans: 2; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em 0px;">We realize this feels like a pain but we want everyone in #bikeChi to come out of the pandemic safe and healthy. Nothing would be more terrible than one of our friends/family winding up with long-term heart and/or lung damage from this terrible virus. </p>
<p style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; min-height: 1em; orphans: 2; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em 0px;">If you post your event as a forum post to get around the rules, it will be deleted. </p>
<p style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; min-height: 1em; orphans: 2; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em 0px;">Stay healthy! Wear a mask!<br/> Much Love,</p>

Well, there's going to be risk any time you are riding with people outside your household. What will be approved? The recommendations I am hearing is no more than ten together but with careful distance. I will be willing to work with you on this point. I have made exceptions for peace and protest rides because protest and voting are activities that are necessary. I have also asked that language be added for social distancing and masks and organizers have added it with no question. </p> Crash support service gets a makeovertag:thechainlink.org,2019-05-09:2211490:Topic:11220442019-05-09T19:21:49.519ZActive Transportation Alliancehttps://thechainlink.org/profile/ActiveTransportationAlliance
<p>Hey folks, wanted to let you know that we recently made some tweaks to our <a href="http://pedbikecrashsupport.org" rel="noopener" target="_blank">crash support service </a>for people who have been in a crash while walking or biking. </p>

<p>Hey folks, wanted to let you know that we recently made some tweaks to our <a href="http://pedbikecrashsupport.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crash support service </a>for people who have been in a crash while walking or biking. </p>
<p>The service, which has been in operation since 2010, now has its own stand-alone website and it's more phone friendly. </p>
<p>On the website, <a href="http://pedbikecrashsupport.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pedbikecrashsupport.org, </a>you’ll find these resources:</p>
<ul>
<li>Six steps you should take immediately after a crash</li>
<li>What you need to know regarding insurance, criminal and civil suites and general documentation.</li>
<li>Attorneys vetted by the Active Transportation Alliance</li>
<li>Details about your rights while walking or biking</li>
</ul>
<p>And just as before, trained volunteers will help you navigate the process of filing a police report, making an insurance claim and finding legal assistance.</p>
<p>If you're one of the hundreds of people who have used this free service in the past, let us know about your experience. </p> Stolen Bike Registry - do this when your bike gets stolentag:thechainlink.org,2010-02-11:2211490:Topic:1551662010-02-11T18:54:36.073ZLee Diamondhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/LeeDiamond
