Great work everyone! Asheville City Council postponed the vote due to so much public pressure about it. We’ll keep you posted!

The potential giveaway of the Wallack Street properties is both short-sighted and weakly contrived. The absolute paucity of public land that the city
stewards, dictates that this valulable land be relegated to any public use (almost) imaginable.
That said, this is a very good use as it “imagines” that Asheville really is a livable city with some safe commutable movement by those with bikes.
Sincerely,
Ross Prezant

Comment on Asheville’s Action Items for Monday & Tuesday by chris craig

I have created a MPG tool, which also aims to show the cost in dollars of commuting to work by car. It also shows how such gasoline consumption affects the CO2 levels in the atmosphere, your “carbon footprint.” A gallon of gasoline weighs about 5 pounds, but puts off 20 pounds of CO2 when burned!!! (How? A molecule of unburned carbon-based gasoline has an atomic weight of 12, but when it is burned, it attaches itself to two Oxygen molecules (atomic weight of 16 each) and CO2 thus weighs in at 44 atomic units.) I thought this would be an interesting tool. You can see how many olympic-size swimming pools of CO2 you create every day, every week, every year. Keep checking back, and I will update it. Special thanks to George Mav at mavaction.com for the brains behind the tool.

As long as the kids are either on 2 wheels already, or can ride on a Trail-A-Bike with their parent. At this time, we are targetting beginners who have no physical restrictions or medical conditions. We expect to start at 9am, and plan to start at the Boyd Branch parking area in Bent Creek. Expect a total of 4 miles this first day. Thanks & Peace -MJ

Sounds very fine. Age and skill levels? I have a 6 and 10 year old. Both ride a bit. Some and pretty well respectively.
Anticipated start time? may have a conflict on the 23rd.
Hope to participate
Ross, Noah and Cole Prezant
