Voice vote: All AYES. Motion passed. New member Arnold Bleicher leas introduced to the Commission. Public Forum h-,gon Dubois, Bicycle Safety Instructor for the Bicycle Transportation Alliance (BTA) expressed his concern over conflicts between bicycles and cars oat A Street near the entrance to (lie Central Ashland Bikepath. He suggested that caution signs be placed to warn people of potential conflicts. In discussing the matter, Sommer suggested that someone should champion this issue. Bleicher noted that there was also a need for coordinated signage on the Creenway. Severson stated that lie could follow up to verify signage possibilities relative to the alley between the A Street buildings and the Central Ashland Bikepath, and added that a lot would depend on whether this was public or private property. Rostykus and Bleicher indicated their willingness to work further to address signage issues. Budget Update Severson noted the expenditures to date and added that there was roughly $880 available in program funds. Chapman noted that be was working with the Traffic Safety Commission to distribute bicycle and skateboard helmets in the schools. IIe explained that Traffic Safety had expended all of their available funds on this program, that they were nearly out of helmets, and that there were two more schools that €iceded helmets, fie requested that the remaining funds be made available for the purchase of helincts. RostykttslChapman nt/s to authorize the expenditure of the remaining Program Funds to purchase bicycle lielmets for distribution in local schools. Discussion: Members noted that a helmet purchase had recently been authorized using Bike Swap funds through the Parks Department, and it was clarified that the lielmets purchased by Parks were for sale at cost through the Parks Department. Chapman explained that the request here was to distribute helmets at no cost to any students who needed them. He added that any retraining helmets could be provided to Parks for their distribution program.. He concluded that lie would review the few remaining helmets in stock, work with Keith Massie of the Traffic Safety Commission to determine the anticipated additional helmets needed, and that they would purchase through Helmets-R-Us. Ile stated that they would like authorization to spend up to the remaining funds available. Voice vote: All AYES. Motion passed. Chapman noted that helmet distribution would be occurring at Helnwan School and then later at Bellview. McLennan offered to contact the Tidings to see if they would be willing to provide some publicity. Rostykus stated 2000-0518 Bike & Ped minules Pnge I of 4 that lie would be willing to help with helmet distribution and fittings, depending on the tinge of the events at individual schools. Eagle Mill Road Severson noted that Eagle Mill Road was a county road and not within the city's jurisdiction. Chapman added that the placement on Eagle Mill was based on its being in entry to Ashland that was not a state liighwvay and thus not restricted by state signage guidelines. Members suggested that signage could be better located tither on Eagle Mill near the entry to the Bikepath or within the city at Oak and Nevada. Under discussion, Bleicher stated that he would be wilting to act as liaison to the Jackson County Bicycle Advisory Commission to work on jurisdictional issues of this nature. Marvin expressed his concerns with the ever-increasing size of street signs used it) Ashland and elsewhere. Status of Bicycle Friendly Community Application Severson noted that the city's Bicycle Friendly Community status had been renewed, as indicated in the e-mail lie had forwarded to comtnissioners. SK8GARD Rack Installation Update Severson explained that lie had intended to have this addressed by now, and would work with Public Works, the Street Department and the library to coordinate exact placement and installation as soon as possible. Election of Officers Severson pointed out that because Lacy had not been reappointed, the position of Secretary was now vacant. Ile added that Commissioners could also look at the positions of Chair and Vice Chair if they wished. Those present agreed that since not everyone was in attendance, this item should be postponed until next month. De -Briefing: Earth nay & Hike Swap Sommer recounted tabling at the Earth Day event, Dubois discussed the success of the Bike Swap, noting that it was extremely well attended and generated roughly $22,000 in proceeds in three hours. It was noted that roughly 15 percent of these funds would be retained to support bicycle safety and related programs. He discussed issues with the number of people selling parts and indicated that this could be better addressed next years, and added that vendor fees should be revisited as well. North. Main Multi -Use Path (MARVIN) Marvin discussed the information and maps lie bad previously provided and presented his first draft of a proposal. Ile noted that this was a proposal that may take several months to finalize, and which he hoped would result in the City providing financial or tax incentives to purchase additional right-of-way for a multi -use path. I-Ie indicated that the Oregon Department of 'Transportation (ODOT) appeared supportive of his proposal. Severson pointed out that ODOT was likely looking for a jurisdictional exchange in which they would provide some initial improvements to the highway segment and then turn it over to the city's jurisdiction as they had done with Siskiyou Boulevard. Members requested maps of the roadway for consideration in preparing a formal proposal. Severson stated that he could likely provide a number of PDF maps of this segment of roadway, but that the output size he could produce was limited to 1 I x 17. Severson noted that he was meeting with the Oregon Department of Transportation and Public Works and Engineering staff in late June to discuss the North Ashland Bikepath, and that he hoped to report back at the next meeting with further details about what this meeting was to address. He indicated that it was likely an initial informational meeting and that lie believed it was specific to the section of bike path being provided in conjunction with the development of the Billings Ranch Subdivision. Update on Who Rides Where & Traffic Enforcement Severson noted that this item was originally requested by David Young, and added that Young had asked that it be held until lie returned next month. Rostykus requested that a copy of the BTA legal book on cyclist's rights be made available for that discussion. 2006-0.51,5 Bike & Ped minutes Page 2 of 4 Severson noted that the letter provided in the packet from an cyclist struck while riding downtown was related, ill that it raised concern with city ordinance requirements that cyclists ride within five feet of the curb. Members su'-ested that working to align the ordinance Nvith current state laws be addressed as part of next rnonth's discussion. Discussion of Striping of Bikelanes & Paths Severson noted that this item was originally requested by David Young, and added that Young had asked that it be held until he returned next month. Car Free Dav Severson noted that he had looked into the issue of having commercial activity at the event at Harding's request. Ile stated that in order to have sales occur, it would be necessary to make a fornial request of the City Council for approval, similar to what is done for sidewalk sales. He acicled that this would need to include an assessment of what commercial and non-commercial activities would be occurring, and he suggested that the focus of the event should remain primarily celebratory and non-commercial. Sommer discussed the need to encourage employers to provide incentives for employee participation. Severson suggested that employers could provide employees living out of town with bus passes and flexible work -scheduling around the bus schedule to encourage them to be car free, with the added benefit of improving the downtown parking situation. Sommer suggested that someone needed to approach the larger employers, including the school district, OSF, the university, and the city, to discuss participation and employee incentives. She noted that she would like to see JPR underwriting to publicize the event; and discussed the fact that financial support from RVTD for event promotion is uncertain. Sommer pointed out that the YMCA would be participating, both with all informational booth and providing employee incentives not to drive. Sommer stated that the subcommittee meetings would continue to occur, and she added that she hoped they would become more frequent and better attended as the event approached. She also pointed out that the Varsity had expressed willingness to screen a new release bicycle/pedestrian Chemed movie in conjunction with the event. Powers & Duties of the Commission AND Discussion of Personal Goals and Individual Time Commitment Expectations Severson noted that both of these items were requested by Harding last month, and suggested that members may want to postpone the discussion until next month when she returned. Those present expressed concern that member attendance was impacting the ability to move forward with the work of the Commission. They suggested that it was important to clarify expectations and provide them to new members prior to their appointment. Severson noted that when this issue was previously discussed, the general consensus had been that members could be expected to attend all regular meetings, as well as subcommittees they had agreed to work on, and to contribute at least an hour of week in work outside of meetings. Members discussed whether a different meeting time would make attendance easier, but there was no consensus oil a better time. Members also expressed the preference that the meeting agendas be handled in a "crisper-, cleaner" manner. Members discussed their individual areas of interest. Rostykus noted that lie would be out of town for Car Free Day this year, and stated that lie would prefer to focus his energies on other interests, including Marvin's proposal for a multi -use path along North Main Street. Ile added that he would like to increase safety for children walking to school, and work to educate kids and parents, as well as drivers. He stated that he would like to promote everyday transportation alternatives to kids and parents in a pro -alternative rather than an anti -car manner. Sommer stated that her focus was on being car free. Marvin stated that North Main was his primary interest. Bleicher stated that he would like to work on issues relating to the Greenway and coordination between cities and the county. Aitken stated that her interests were in reducing car use through methods such as car-pooling. There was consensus of all present that the meetings should begin promptly at 5:15 p.m. and end promptly at 7:00 P.M 2006-0518 Bike & Ped mi�iutes Page 3 of 4 Subcommittee & Liaison Reports None. New Business Members discussed concerns over businesses such as Rogue federal Credit Union and the Grange Co -Op not providing adequate bicycle parking. Severson explained that new planning actions had to provide parking in relationship to their required motor vehicle parking. He added that in the downtown, there are no motor vehicle parking requirements and thus no requirements to provide bike parking. Ile continued that outside of the downtown, new developments must provide parking, however uses which were approved previous to the current parking requirements may still lack adequate bicycle facilities. He explained that in the past, commissioners who were concerned with bicycle parking for a specific business would contact the manager to make them aware that customers would like to see bicycle parking made available. He clarified that the city could not retroactively go in to a specific use and require additional facilities if the use was not increasing over it's original approval. AcLeen_d__a_Items for Next Month Members asked that mu,,,,., .., ch of the current a 7cnda be carried over including an update oil skateboard rack installation, a discussion of Car free Day, personal goals and expectations, and that discussions of bike racks (specifically at the Grange), and signage be included.

"E" Street • Gr�ults Pass, Oregon 97526 Phone (541) 471-9239 • Facsimile (541) 479-0925 RECEIVED May 19, 2006 Dear Bicycle Group: MAY City of Ashland Community Development Enclosed please fund a press release and newspaper article about the 3 foot rule that was recently enacted by the Grants Pass City Council. In pushing for the adoption of this measure, I had been hoping that other communities might take an interest and perhaps pass similar laws (obviously it would be nice to have this as a statewide piece of legislation, and if you know how to pull that off, that would be even better). There are already four states with "3 feet rules" - - Arizona, Utah, Missouri and Minnesota. As we all know, bicycle safety is a subject of extreme concern, and this kind of law is a cost-free way of advancing that cause. Yours, l�i Mark Lansing PRESS RELEASE It's official. On May 17, 2006, by a 6-1 vote, the Grants Pass (Oregon) City Council adopted the following ordinance (subject to a couple of exceptions): "A persoiz operating a motor vehicle orz a public or private road shall maiaztaiiz a zone of protection for a distance of not Iess than 3 feet beftwen the motor vehicle and a bicycle, skateboard or scooter." The ordinance also granted a similar protection to pedestrians from the intrusion of cars, bicycles, skateboards and scooters. It is the result of a 5-year effort by the Josephine County Bikeways and Walkways Con-unittee, Call Mark Lansing at 541.471.9239 for more information.

Another cycling friend has the belief that he has an absolute right to use the road just as he wishes. Both of these riders have attitudes that are not only contrary to law, but can actually be dangerous to these in- dividuals and their fellow cyclists. Some cyclists, especially children and less -experienced adults, fall into the "visitor" category. To avoid riding where they think they don't belong, they instead weave into the gaps between parked cars, ride precariously close to the edge of the pavement, and shoot onto the sidewalk whenever possible. This style of rider believes they are being safer. Accident statistics disagree. Ninety percent of all cycling acci- dents do not involve cars. Most accidents are the result of cyclists hitting obstacles, unsafe pavement, or hitting other bicycles. Even some of the ten percent of acci- dents involving cars are actually "car door" crashes that are not really getting hit by a car, as is most feared. The timid rider in- creases the chance of injury by twenty times by riding on the side- walk. The dangers of disappearing between parked cars, being hit by a car coming out of a driveway, or dropping a wheel off an uneven road edge are obvious to more ex- perienced riders. The cyclist who demands his right to the road is also in danger. As human beings clad only in Lycra we have no way of winning an ar- gument with an irate driver sur- rounded by tons of steel. Some advice given to me: "You can be happy or you can be right" applies here. The law says we have a right to be on the road. Safety says we need to be careful in asserting that right. So where does the law and good sense dictate we should ride? One of the best discussions of this topic can be found at the North Carolina Coalition for Bicycle Driving. (http-//www.huniantransport.org/ bicycledriving/index.html) Their theme is: bicyclists are drivers of vehicles. This is reflected in the laws of all 50 states affirming that bicycles are vehicles of the road with all of the rights and responsi- bilities of a vehicle. With very few exceptions, all traffic laws apply to bicycles just as they do to automo- biles. The main exception is that bicycles are required to ride as far to the right in the traffic lane as can be done safely. SlsNfyou Velo , June 2006 Page 1 League of I Timely News Notes Membership news page 2 6b Mexube& Ads page 2 oar-. Conuuercial advertising page 3 c nine's Ride Schedule page 4 r"rp Racing Corner page 5 deb Pedal Strokes page 6 c- Sis6iyou Velo Minutes page 7 So just what is the traffic lane and what is meant by "safely"? As car drivers, we have no problem un- derstanding what a traffic lane is and what it is not. Bicycles belong in that same traffic lane except that we must stay to the far right side of the lane. The lane is not the gutter, it is not the sidewalk, and it is not empty parking spaces. The traffic lane is also not the paved shoulder of the road. The white line at the right side of the road (fog line) marks the limit of the traffic lane. This should not be confused with a white line denot- ing an actual "bike lane" that is marked to show an additional traf- fic lane for use by bicycles. Bicy- cles are not required to ride on the shoulder of the road. Nor are bicy- cles required to ride through glass, debris or damaged pavement. Bi- cycles should never skim by the doors of parked cars, even if a Continued on page 5 Tour de Nez Bicycling Festival —June 21-24, 2006 Northern Nevada's premier cycling ex- travagatiza. the Tour de Nez, features the best in pro and amateur bicycle racing and an opportunity- to sell and shop at Northern Nevada's biggest bicycle and bicycle clothing and accessory swap.

Must the cyclist always hug the road edge or remain in the marked bike lane? This is where we rely on the law's granting us the latitude to judge what is safe. Only the cyclist can see the hazards in the road. We are allowed to select a position in the traffic lane that keeps us clear of observable hazards. Cyclists may abandon the marked bike lane for the same reasons. We can even ride in the middle of the traffic lane if necessary, as long as we enter that portion of the lane giving due regard to other vehicles. In fact, it is safer to maintain a straight line in the traf- fic lane rather than veering in and out of the bike lane or shoulder as a way of dodging glass and car doors. Bicyclists are expected to ride in a controlled and predictable mariner; we must do everything possible to dispel the characterization of being "deer on wheels". However, even though the law never requires bicycles to ride on the shoulder of the road, it makes sense to be considerate of automobile tmflic by using a shoulder that is suitable for the purpose. This is an example of not being aggressive with legal rights in favor of practi- cal sharing of the road. The middle ground between aggressive and timid is what is re- ferred to as "assertive". Find a safe riding position on the roadway and remain there until changing position can be done smoothly. As an example, it is safer to assertively move to a middle lane rather than be trapped at the road edge of a "right -turn" lane. Sometimes, despite our best efforts at cour- tesy and safety, cyclists become the target of anger. Perhaps it is just envy. The lard -butt in the car (or truck) sees trim cyclists. The car driver has to work and he sees carefree cyclists. The driver is stuck in traffic while cyclists shoot through clear bike lanes. There is not much we can do to reduce either the anger or the envy. However, as vulnerable cyclists, it is essential to avoid confrontations with drivers already at the boiling point. Remembering that "buns of steel" will always lose to fenders of steel, it is best to outwardly ignore the few bad drivers. The difficult part is to be legally assertive, but completely non - aggressive and non -confrontational while on the road. We are too vulnerable to take the liberty of any other response. However, when we observe a driver endan- gering or intimidating a cyclist we have an obligation to all other cyclists to report such behavior to legal authorities — every time. We should have zero tolerance to verbal harassment, intentional vehicular intimida- tion, or any form of attempted physical contact by drivers, passengers or thrown objects. Most cases of injuries to cyclists involve drivers with a history of aggressive behavior. It is important to report aggres- sion directed at cyclists as a way of break- ing the pattern, and to establish a history at the police department. What should you do if you are involved with (or just observe) such dangerous be- havior? Above all, don't antagonize the driver. Get the vehicle license number, note the make of the car if possible, and get as much detail on the appearance of the driver as possible_ Give the information to the police or sheriff promptly, if possible, stop immediately and call 911 from your cell phone. Be prepared to supply the location and the time of day of the incident. Some- times such reports are ignored and some- times the police will make a call on the owner of the vehicle. Many times the po- lice discover suspended licenses and other outstanding wants. Most importantly, the contact of the driver with the police confums to both parties that cyclists are humans, and that they will assert their rights to use the roads without endangerment or harassment. It gives a firm reminder that drivers will be held accountable and cannot feel immune from cyclists, just because they can outrun them. Reporting these incidents can also remind law enforcement personnel that their mission includes pro- tecting the rights and lives of cyclists. Another important reason for making the report to the police was stated by a district attorney. He said that the hardest thing in prosecuting a case involving an enraged vehicle driver injuring a cyclist is to prove intent. The driver always claims that he would never intentionally force a bicycle into a ditch, and the DA often has to settle for a minimal charge such as failing to yield. However, when the jury hears that prior reports had been fried by cyclists for similar behavior, the driver faces much more severe punishment_ All of our actions should be guided by our desire to use the roads in a respectful man- ner and to be treated as legitimate users of the road by other users. Through thoughtful application of our rights and responsibili- ties, we can better secure our place in the transportation and recreational systems. Sisldyou Velo - June 2006 Page 5 Racing Comer By Glen Gann Well here we are again, another month has gone by. The only racing that has gone on for most of us in Southern Oregon since the end of the Tour of Willamette is the Spring Thaw. Twenty-two local team members raced, and that is not counting all those that helped out with the race. Reny Town- send rode away with the overall and several others made the top ten in their classes. The following day saw 18 local rid- ers participating in the Table Rock Road Race. It was the first time this year that I have raced in the dry warm weather. Both races were well attended and full of climbing and fast down - hills. Fifty-six miles per hour was what I had attained as a top speed down An- tioch. On the first lap the lead motorcy- cle from the BMW club was not watch- ing his mirrors and was very surprised when we flew by hint down the hill at over 50. Richard Hogan has started some short track mountain bike races on Tuesday nights up on John's Peak. They will continue through May, so look for them again next year. Coming in the near future will be the Thursday Night races out at the drag strip. I hope some of you will find the time to come out and watch. You could make a ride of it and then ride home with some of the racers as they cool down. Last month I mentioned some riders that had raced in Oregon before going pro. It seems like just yesterday when Aaron Olson was racing for a Junior team out of Eugene. Now he is 28 and I'm no longer 29, so I guess some time has gone by. He quickly upgraded to a Cat 11 as a Junior and would often race in the Senior Cat I-Il races where I had the opportunity to race side by side with him. I find it exciting to read about him racing in the Giro for the Saunier Duval team which has Girberto Simon as their team leader: With a lot of hard work, he has made what some only dream of, come true The 2006 professional cycling season picked up additional steam at the end of April and begin- ning of May. Liege -Bastogne -Liege and the Tour of Romandie closed out the month of April and the Giro d'Italia ushered in the month of May with three weeks of racing over an ex- ceptionally difficult and challenging route. Coming close on the heels of his impressive victory in the Fl6che Wallonne, Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne) made it two in a row just four days later in winning I,iege- Bastogne-Liege, the oldest of the spring clas- sics. After a long afternoon of chasing a two - man breakaway, a small group of 12 riders were in contention for the win with less than two kilometers to go. Various riders, including Ivan Basso (CSC), Michael Boogerd (Rabobank), Paulo Bettini (Quick -Step) and Patrik Sinkewitz (T-Mobile) took a shot at an early attack before the finish line, but each was reeled in, and in the end it was Valverde who played it very smart and waited until the last moment before making his move and easily edged Betti€ni and Damian Curtego (Lampre) at the line. Val- verde has clearly given notice that his earlier victories, especially his win in the Fleohe Wal- lonne and his win over Lance Armstrong in Courchevel in last year's Tour de France were not in any way flukes. He is one of the new kids on the block and, at just 26, obviously destined to remain there for some time. In fact, Valverde's (26) back to back victories, Tots Boonen's (25) (Quick -Step) win in the Tour de Flanders, Fabian Cancellara's (25) (CSC) upset win at Paris -Roubaix, Filippo Pozzato's (24) (Quick -Step) taking Milan -San Remo, Prank Schleck (26) (CSC) winning the Amstel Gold Race and the promising, young Dutch rider Thomas Dekker's (21) (Rabobank) victory in Tirreno-Adriatico have set an inter- esting pattern for these early season races, all of which were won by youthful members of what the French sports newspapers Equipe calls "A new generation of champions." The old guard appears to be struggling to come up with a win. Michael Boogerd can't seem to repeat in his own country's spring classic, the Amstel Gold Race, Paulo Bettini, who came into the spring season with quite remarkable form and hopes to win more than one of the prestigious classics, has been thwarted on several occasions at the finish line, and inveterate sprinter and all-time class rider Erik Label is most often seen stug- gling just to stay up with the younger sprinters on the block. T'he retirement of Lance Arm - Page 6 - Siskiyou Veto — June 2006 Pedal Strokes by Roger Stevenson 344 rue de Blansin. 74800 Saint Pierre en Fauciainv. France strong after his unprecedented seventh straight yellow jersey in the Tour de France perhaps does indeed signal the end of an era. On the other hand, the emergence of so many talented, young racers is an encouraging sign for the future of professional cycling and bodes well for renewed excitement and sus- pense in the current season's feature events: for the first time in several years, the top po- dium spot in the Tour de France appears to be beckoning a veritable hand full of promising riders. This year's Tour of Romandie, a six -day stage race in Franco -phone Switzerland, was one of the most exciting in recent memory. The short but demanding prologue through the old town in Geneva was full of excitement as Paulo Savoldelh (Discovery) turned in a remarkable performance to beat Valverde's time by 63 hundredths of a second. Stage one the next day was about the only stage for sprinters, and Robbie McEwen (Davitamon- Lotto) gave his team: one of their first victo- ties in the young season. Teammate and American Chris Horner followed up with a stage win the next day and took the leader's jersey only to loose it on the following day to Alberto Contador (Liberty Seguros). Stage four was won by Contador's teammate Val- verde, who remained just six seconds behind Contador in the overall. The final, tough tune -trial around Lausanne proved to be the deciding factor in the race as the Australian Cadet Evans (Davitamon-Lotto) gave his team victory number three in the race, but also crushed the field with his impressive time trialing, putting 51 seconds into Conta- dor's time and over a minute on Valverde, taking the final stage as well as the overall win. Contador and Valverde finished second and third. It was a wonderful stage race with the leader's jersey changing shoulders almost every day and a final, suspense -filled stage that left everyone in awe of Evans' skills as a time trial specialist. .Ian Ullrich made his season debut in the Tour of Romandie. Plagued by earlier prob- lems with a knee and his perennial extra kilo- grams around his waist, the 1997 wimrer of the Tour de France was only there to put in some racing kilometers. His extra weight was very obvious and he was quite uneeremoni- ously dropped at the beginning of almost every climb, but he stated at the end of the race that he was happy with how things had gone and that he looked forward to riding the Giro as a preparation for his annual attempt to repeat at the Tour de France. The Giro d' Italia kicked off with a short 6.2- kilometer time trial through the streets of Se- raing, Belgium and another prologue victory for last year's Giro winner, Paulo Savoldelli, who seemed to come back with a vengeance after suffering the gastro-intestinal problems that forced him out of the Tour of Romandie. After ten stages, as we write, a bevy of differ- ent riders have donned the pink jersey, Robbie McEwen has won throe sprint victories, the first one over Alessandro Petacchi, who on the very next: stage suffered a broken kneecap in a fall on the rain -slick Italian roads. It was a tough day for the Italian sprinter, who quite valiantly rode the final 50 kilometers to the finish. He was obviously in a lot of pain, but it was not until after the stage that x-rays taken m a local hospital revealed the fracture. It was a big loss for Italian fans for this year's Giro and cleared the way for McEwen to pull off two more sprint victories. The decisive stage in the early part of the Giro proved to be stage 8 when Ivan Basso (CSC) proved that all the pre -race attention focused on him as the number one favorite for the over- all was well placed. In the final climb up the Maielletta, Basso's teammate Carlo Sastre had maintained a blistering pace at the head of the pack. When Lampre's Damiano Cunego at- tacked the group with just 4 kilometers to go, Basso of orilessly caught and passed him to soar to an impressive stage victory and the pink jersey. However, as Basso pointed out follow- ing the stage, the Giro is exceptionally difficult this year with some terrible mountain stages during the fmal week of racing. Keeping in mind his disastrous problems last year on the very next: stage after he had taken the pink jersey, the young Italian remained very phi- losophical about the race, although he seemed to exbibit a new confidence and determination that should serve him well in the grueling climbs to come. Meanwhile further south, Bjarne Riis' CSC team continues to impress with Fabian Can- cellara winning the opening stage and taking the leader's jersey in the Tour of Catalonia in northeastern Spain. It was the young Swiss rider's first race after his win at Paris -Roubaix, and he seems to have taken up right where he left off. Siskyou Velo - June 2006 Page 7 Velo Minutes: May Meeting Introductions: 17 members present Minutes approved, but discussion ensued based on one item from the last minutes: "Andy Dungan re- quested the club share its MLC mailing list for the Ride the Rogue. Permission given." It was pointed out that the registration form for the MLC states: "Your information will not be sold or otherwise dis- tributed." Because the RTR is being organized with full support from the Velo, it was moved and ap- proved that the club send out the RTR registration forms with the Velo return address. Then in the future, the MLC committee will revise the registra- tion forms to indicate that the mailing list will not be used for any commercial interests. Committee Reports Treasury: The treasurer was not present. Money is coming in for the MLC. Membership: no report. Touring: There will be no Tour de Fronds Challenge with the Umpqua club this year because no one from the Siskiyou Velo was inclined to organize it. Events: If you're not riding or volunteering for the MLC, feel guilty! There is still room for more volunteers. Brochures for the MLC have been will be distributed at other organized rides. Newsletter: Bill must have all articles and informa- tion for the newsletter by the 1 e of each month so that it can be proofed, go to the printer and be out by the beginning of each month so that the ride schedule is out in a timely manner. Advocacy: The Table Rock Road Race was successfully revitalized with 120 riders and very positive feedback. May 15 - 19 is Bike to Work Week. Part of that will include a "Ride with your politicians" to educate elected officials to show that bikes do belong on public roads. Many repre- sented officials will be participating. It was emphasized that we all need to observe the laws and be courteous to drivers to maintain a good image of cyclists. The few who don't observe the laws create a nega- tive image of all who ride. Hazards: Springbrook in Medford is being re- paired; the Greenway has some serious bumps which need to be painted. The Bear Creek Greenway is currently focusing on getting the segment behind the fair- arounds done, and then continuina from Upton to Blackwell where it will be able to tie Into the Rogue River Greenway. The sec- tion between Bear Creek Park and South Stage will be the last segment to be com- pleted because the who South Medford interchange is being redone. Old Business The next meeting will fin'up the logistics for the Velo presentations at Stewart State Park in July and August. The committee for spending the MLC money pro- posed spending the money for the following. Amounts will remain open until it is known how much is made from the ride. ACCESS - helmets for kids Bear Creek Greenway street signs Bike ride for newbies with pizza afterwards BTA Hands on projects: bide racks at Blue Heron and / or Eagle Point parks, stenciling bike lane logos in Medford; stenciling sharrows in Talent or Phoenix New Business The Central Point and Medford police have been very cooperative with cycling related matters. Please show them your appreciation. The (Almost) Cinco de Mayo ride was a great suc- cess with about 43 riders and a great potluck at Dan & Leslie Wooton's afterwards. Again it was emphasized that cyclists need to be courteous to motorists. In jest (?) it was sug- gested that we wear signs on our backs saying ¢How do you like my riding? Cali 1-800... Long range plans for the Bear Creek Greenway could include extensions to Emigrant Lake, southeast Medford and Jacksonville. Meeting adjourned at 8:35.
