Then people would get used to the sound of a bike bell meaning, "Hey, you, I'm riding here and I need to get your attention," rather than the blank stare I get now. :-) Totally agree with you, Dottie.

Perez Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:19:49 +0000 http://www.slowbikemiami.com/?p=217#comment-52 I was going to add a note about the local bike shops to #4 but forgot, so yeah, I'm there with you. We've seen support from some of them, some of the bigger ones at that, so that's good, but we need more. And we need to reach beyond the City of Miami, as much a pain in the behind as I know that gets when you have to deal with the culture of micro-cities. The Bike Miami Rides are trying to do what you describe next. We have such a dearth of true farmer's markets down here that it gets a bit harder, but it's not impossible. I think that's a second post right there. ;-) I was going to add a note about the local bike shops to #4 but forgot, so yeah, I’m there with you.

Bike Miami incentives etc. Do you think partnering some of the events with lets say a farmers market or something? Take it through a neighborhood with a market and make a stop there. IDK just off the top of my head ideas. .-= Matt Herzberger´s last blog... <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mattherzbergercom/~3/JxLYv37M7t4/" rel="nofollow">Get those gravatars</a> =-.
