Riders,

BikeGainesville.org, North Florida's non-profit knowledge-based
resource for all things human-powered on wheels, has just posted some
new material of interest.  Please share the following with friends and
family:

"How to Keep Your Mechanic Happy"
http://www.bikegainesville.org/index.php/examples/articles/how-to-keep-your-mechanic-happy/
This is a piece about the best ways to befriend those wild animals
behind the claw-proof glass at your local repair shop.

AND:

"Taking it Through the Streets: The South Second Avenue Corridor and
the Promise of Thruway Cycling."
http://www.bikegainesville.org/index.php/examples/articles/taking-it-through-the-streets/
This longer technical piece explains why and how Gainesville got it
right by turning an off-corridor side street into a commuter's
paradise.

Enjoy, Respond, and Share with a Friend!!!

Forthcoming:  a longer piece that continues the friendly debate taken
up in the latest Gainesville Cycling Club newsletter about club
riders' use of the Gainesville Hawthorne Trail, and a suggested
"Etiquette Guide" for riders who are sponsored by a business or riding
under contract.

Ride On,

James Thompson
Co-Founder, BikeGainesville.org
