NewVA Moves

Bicycle Presentation at the Regional Commission

Tonight I will presenting on "Online Resources for Bicyclists" here at the Regional Commission.  This presentation will be followed by the monthly meeting of the Roanoke chapter of BikeWalk Virginia.  I'll be talking about some of the tools RIDE Solutions has created, such as the Interactive Bike Map, and other tools like a new wiki for NewVA cyclists and websites that allow you to map and share routes with other enthusiasts.  The presentation is from 6:00 to 6:30 in the Regional Commission conference room, 313 Luck Ave. SW, Roanoke, 24016.  Call (540) 342-9393 if you need directions or have any questions.

While we're on the subject of cycling, you should check out the Commission's new "Bike, Hike, Bus Roanoke Valley" map.  You can get a free copy from RIDE Solutions.  It includes not only the Valley Metro routes, but hiking trails such as Carvin's Cove, the greenways, and other great info.  It was so popular that Cox Cable sponsored a second printing after we passed out everything from the first run.  If you don't want to order it online, look for it at the admin offices of your local government, the convention and visitor's bureau, and similiar locations around town.
