Bike Advocacy Meeting:Thursday, November 8

Here is an opportunity to hear about efforts within state government to lift Arkansas from our current rank of 50th in "bicycle friendliness" as rated by the league of American Bicyclists. The very fact that the speaker is from the AHTD and is reporting on the efforts of the Governor's Bicycle Advisory Group says that we are making progress, at least in terms of perception, at the state level.
And it's always good to hear from Judge  Buddy Villines!

This from Joe Jacobs:
