Dear Fellow EBC Members:
The 2nd Annual Bicycle Safety Town Hall Meeting was on May 31st. This
unique meeting wase hosted by Miami Dade County Commissioner District 7
Carlos A. Gimenez and City of Coral Gables Commissioner Ralph Cabrera. I was
flattered we were asked to participate and it says a lot about our club's
size, heritage and importance. With the help of Tom Burton and John
Sabatier we were able to put together an 8 minute presentation outlining the club's various charitable and advocacy projects.

On May 1, FBA rolled out its 2007 membership campaign with efforts to
surpass 2000 members by August 1, 2007 and 3000 members by December 31, 2007. So how are we doing so far are 150 new members as of today, but that number is really much higher since about 30% of these new members represent family memberships and are generally counted as 2 people when determining total membership levels. We are also missing the boat with bike shop memberships. Please encourage your local bike shop(s) to join FBA, display safety materials, and hang FBA and Share the Road license plate banners. Materials are available by contacting FBA.

So how are we going to grow to 3000 by the end of the year? That’s where you and your local club come into play. FBA is offering limited one-year memberships to Florida bicycle club members for only $10 which barely covers postage. We think this investment is worth it and hope members will rejoin on their renewal date at the standard or higher rate. Clubs can offer, via their newsletters or email lists, this offer. A one page
flyer is available for printing. So far, the North Florida Bicycle Club,
Gainesville Bicycle Club and Boca Raton Bicycle Club have promoted this program to their members. Other clubs are encouraged to follow suit. FBA Board member John Sinibaldi is piloting a membership program via bike shops in the Tampa Bay area as well.

Strength lies in numbers and every voice counts towards making Florida a bicycle friendly...
