Update, and reminder: Preston Tyree, Director of Education for the League of American Bicyclists, will be in Savannah to facilitate a Bicycle Friendly Community Workshop Wednesday, January 21 from 9am-1pm. Location is confirmed for the Coastal Georgia Center. Come by bike or bring one along, as there will likely be an on-bike component to the day’s events.
The LAB administers the Bicycle Friendly Communities Program, and the City of Savannah has completed the first of its two-part application. The four hour workshop will review facilities and programs in Savannah for their bicycle friendliness, and include a review of the Bikability Checklist.
Whether or not we as a community rise to the national definition of Bicycle Friendly Community (in Georgia, only Roswell has achieved this status), we are sure to learn about how to get better and closer to that goal.
We as bicyclists often face adverse conditions — this workshop represents a chance to look at those and discuss how we can make things better locally. Please consider joining us and Savannah city officials on Wednesday, January 21.
