Bicycle Advocacy Workshop Reminder

A reminder that you're invited to a Bike Advocacy Workshop presented by the City of Spokane Bicycle Advisory Board and Cascade Bicycle Club. The workshop is this Saturday, Oct. 24 from 9 a.m. to noon at the East Central Community Center, 500 S. Stone, in the Senior Room. An optional bike ride will follow, weather permitting.

The purpose of the meeting is to:

- Connect with fellow cyclists
- Learn about local bike projects, what it took to put them together, and the five elements of a complete bike plan (hint: it’s not just a map!)
- Get an understanding of the policy process and how we can be more effective as advocates for cycling interests
- Hear how Cascade Bicycle Club has become a force in the public policy arena
- Help us start to build the Spokane region’s bike agenda
