I just thought I would mention that as a result of seeing far too many biking tragedies and of being increasingly annoyed by bicyclists' needs failing to be recognized by local government, I applied for and was appointed to my city's Bicycle Advisory Commission, which provides input to the regional transportation planning committee. It is not a glamorous spot, but it is likely to be a much better opportunity to effect change for the better than riding in critical mass.
If any of you have any suggestions that you think might be useful in planning for bicycle use in a community, please let me know.

![]() I would apprecaite it. The scope of the committee's resposibility is broad; we are asked to provide input into development and redevelopment, road and community planning, street singnge, revisions of ordinances, etc. So anythign at all along these lines might be helpful. As you know, I hav some strong opinions about these issues, but I woudl also appreciate any input.
