(Summer is our rainy season.) For many of us that post to this site, every month is bicycle month- we just need to convince the rest of the people around us.

The National Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority is encouraging bike commuting amongst its staff, tenants and the community. A bike commuting safety meeting that is open to the public will be held on May 11, 2009 at noon at the Gateway Conference Room on the island of Hawaii in Kailua-Kona. The idea of having a bike safety meeting was seeded into my brain while I was attending a cycling friendly communities presentation a few months ago by the League of American Bicyclists presenter (Preston sp?). So… I have teamed up with a local pedestrian and cycling advocacy group “PATH” and their Education Director who is a League of American Bicyclists certified cycling instructor to teach a one hour Bicycle Commuting Brown Bag Safety Meeting during Bike to Work Week. We are also surveying the facility to discover how many people are currently bike commuting and how many people would like to try it. So far we have 10 confirmed bike commuters of 300 people at our facility. We may set up a spreadsheet giving potential locations with distances, calories burned and gas savings as a hybrid transport option to park and bicycle if the distances are too great or too steep to start from your home. I’m hoping that this safety meeting will help cyclist and non-cyclist learn the rules of the road, to be more defensive behind the steering wheel and/or handle bar and to discuss safety issues that are relevant to our roadways. I also convinced my executive director to make the meeting public, as an outreach program to the community. All are welcome! Here is a downloadable memo and flyer: http://www.ophale.com/bicycle/NELHA_Bike_to_Work_Safety_Meeting.pdf Aloha, Keith Not sure if this would be considered fun…
