Caltrain Bike Master Plan Meeting – Thursday

The SFBC Bulletin had the following which you wil find important if you take your bicycle on Caltrain:

Don’t let Caltrain’s Bike Master Plan leave you behind — speak up now! This week Caltrain staff will be updating its board of directors on their Draft Bicycle Master Plan, which looks at beefing up bike parking at 10 of its most-popular stations, but doesn’t do anything to add (or even maintain) bike space on trains, now or in the future.

If you care about “bikes on board”, please attend the Caltrain Joint Powers Board meeting this Thursday (8/7/08, 10:00 am, 1250 San Carlos Ave., San Carlos, a four-minute walk from the train station). We need a strong show of support to get bikes on board included in the Bike Master Plan, and we need to make sure the Caltrain board (the folks who make the big decisions) really understands this service and hears from the people who use it. We have a group of speakers lined up to make public comment, and we need you in the audience with your bicycle helmet in hand. Can’t make the meeting? Write to your mayor about this important transit service. For more information, and to download a template and mayors’ addresses, see our Bikes ONBoard page.

What is particularly interesting is the plan release has been pushed BACK to AFTER the meeting.  It is unclear if the board meeting will also be pushed back, but I have not seen anything yet to indicate as such.  I’ve emailed the SFBC about this as well in hopes they can get to the bottom of things.

  1. Hello, i am considering getting another bike for my husband. He though is very careful around what type of risks could occur from biking accidents. See his love is athletics so if he was disabled, he would probably kill himself, no jokes. Does biking injuries usually occur, or is it usually simply death!

  2. Hey! That was funny man. Mind if I share a joke with ya? I know it’s kinda silly, but oh well. Ok, What do you call a cajuns bear? Hebert! Get it? Likely not. I guess it’s just a Louisiana joke. I’ve been looking for jokes and pranks on the net all day man. The funniest ones I found were kinda weird, but it seems like they are the best. I like all knockknock jokes too. I found some really wild prank calls on youtube. Just search “prank phone calls” on there and that should keep you laughing for like a day alone! I even found a place that shows you how to make your own stink bombs . I haven’t tried it yet, but I want to if my momma will let me. So what makes you laugh the most? Do you like that show Jackasses? Knoxville is so crazy! Well thanks for the laughs. I had fun!
