Chicagoland Bicycle Map volunteerism

Phew, just finished my work for Active Trans' Chicagoland Bicycle Map. Rode 30 miles of "section 31", plus planning, meeting, and data updates, took like 20hrs. Lots of new bike lanes around, hope some of my changes make it in the 2010 product. The whole map is some 500 times my area; total labor must be huge, and understaffed.…

Slight variations were reportedly sold under several names including Cinzia, Hyda-Bike, Barbarellas, Safari, Bianchi.

This particular model was custom built for "K.T.C. in Alsip" and most closely resembles a… Continue

From what I gather, you are a key person in Chicago's Critical Mass. I want to bring a fairly new cycling education program to Chicago. It's called CyclingSavvy. Have you heard of it? Please check it out at www.cyclingsavvy.org and let me know if you think it's something that Chicago's Critical Massers would find helpful.
