THANKS to all who attended our first meeting last week at Smoken Joe’s! The general consensus is that it was a strong turnout at our first meeting and there’s lots of energy, enthusiasm and interest in our new Allston-Brighton Bikes community collaborative. Since the first meeting, many others in our community have expressed interest as well.
At our first meeting we:
– introduced ourselves
– collected e-mail addresses for our Google group and future distribution list(s)
– collected names (and some “write-in” suggestions) of those interested in working on various bike-related issues in our community
– reached consensus that we’re all interested in our mission: improving our Allston-Brighton community to be more safe, supportive and welcoming for cyclists
– ate a fairly respectable amount of carrots and hummus, chicken wings and cornbread
All in all, I think we got a lot of really good stuff accomplished without getting too overwhelmed with all the great stuff we can do (with enough energy, enthusiasm and elbow grease) in the future!
Stay tuned on this site for more info… A-BBikes is off to a great start!
