....is to show up to village board meetings on your bike.
For the last 2 months or so, village board meetings have coincided
with my wife's night class, so I've been attending them to keep
myself entertained. Naturally, this is a perfect excuse to ride:
short distance, light traffic (meetings don't start until 19:30).
However, we don't have racks in town, except at parks and playgrounds,
so I've been locking up to the railings on the front steps of village
hall.
The first week, one of the trustees saw this, and we got to chatting.
Turns out he rides (in fair weather, anyway), and he immediately said
we should install a rack at each village building. I agreed, but then
let that piece of info slide to the back of my brain during the
following week. At the next meeting, during the administrator's report,
he reported that this particular trustee had brought this to his
attention, and that racks would be ordered and installed as soon as
the ground thawed.
Rock!
And all because I showed up on my bike.
Now to get myself hooked into the new village transportation plan...
