Some of the great info from our discussion

Talking about your city’s or good cities for Bike Infrastructure:

Chicago & Salt Lake City
Miami isn’t so safe, but the police ride along for Critical Mass and there is The Underline
Tokyo & Kyoto have safe biking and respectful drivers. Unique bike lanes. Mamachari bikes
Iloilo Philippines - beautiful and very bike friendly
Amsterdam & Copenhagen of course
Paris!!

Pedego bikes of San Diego elicited discussion of having rental programs for tourists that are underwritten by manufacturers so that people can really try the bike and part of the rental fee can go towards a purchase.

RAGBRAI - It’s on for July 2021! What is it? RAGBRAI, Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, is more than just a bike ride. It is an epic seven-day bicycling adventure that tests endurance, showcases community and builds lasting friendships. The longest, largest and oldest bicycle touring event in the world it is one-third bicycling, two-thirds fun!

Weel - Self-Balancing Bike that will be released hopefully in 2021.

ANWB - The organization that every country should have. It’s like AAA, but since it’s the Netherlands it was founded for bikes!!

Everyone’s Rideout - the group that had 1000 cyclists biking thru the streets of SF and none of the SF bike advocates knew a thing about it. It was glorious!!

Discussion of Idaho Stops. You know my opinion…
