Pedestrian, bicycle access planned for West Road gate

Plans are underway to build a pedestrian/bicycle opening into the gate that was recently placed across West Road as part of the Security Perimeter project. Pedestrians or people on bicycle should know that over the next 2-3 weeks there may be times when access is closed completely due to construction in the area. Until the access area is completed the gate has been left partially open to facilitate access. Employees should use caution in this area and obey any warning signs.

We want to Interview Local Cyclists

We would love to publish interviews with local cycists on the blog.

Here are some sample questions:

1. Tell us about yourself
2. What kind of riding do you do?
3. Tell us about your bikes
4. What is an interesting accomplishment or occurrence related to your cycling?
5. How do you like riding in Los Alamos? How does it compare to other places you have ridden?
6. What could be done to make Los Alamos better for cycling?
7. Any message for the local Cycling community?

Include a picture if you would like to!

To participate, simply copy and paste these questions in an email and send it to me at swwd_at_yahoo_dot_com

On the need for a Cyclist Blog for Los Alamos

Would a cyclist-oriented blog be useful for the cycling community in Los Alamos?

Here are some of the purposes that could be served by this blog:

• Discussion of safe cycling practices and issues affecting the Los Alamos cycling community
• Announcements of local events
• Creation of a communication and/or social network for the LA cycling community, covering the range of cycling activities (transportation, exercise, on-road, off-road, etc)
• Links to site of interest to cyclists, e.g. cyclist education, gear & clothing, training, etc.

The advantage of using Blogger for this purpose is that it provides a public forum for discussion in a way that interested parties can easily access and participate in real-time.

Please post your feedback on this idea.

Cheers

Scott Doebling
