Creation of Temecula Cyclist Advisory Committee

Great news! We met with the Temecula City Council subcommittee for the city Master Plan for bicycle lanes and paths. The subcommittee agreed to sanction a Cyclists Advisory Committee, which will gather input from cyclists and report directly to the City Council subcommittee. So here's our chance to discuss traffic signalization for cyclists (how about buttons in the left turn lanes?), connecting on-street bike lanes (there are so many breaks in the system now, that will be a huge task), bike racks (I want them at Home Depot, am I the only person carrying gallons of paint home in panniers? ), education for young cyclists (yes, you can ride your bicycle to school), education for police officers (no, I don't have to ride in the gutter), the list is endless. I have taken the restrictions for comments off this site, so post away (keep it clean, I am still moderating). I have always hoped this site could be used to air ideas, organize, provide momentum for change. All ideas are welcome. We have a chance, it's time to take the opportunity and run with it.

New video of riding mixed use bike path on Diaz

 Check out Zak's new video on riding the Diaz Road mixed use bike path. It's a great place to ride, but hard to get to, imho.
