LAB president, Andy Clarke to speak at next WWBPA meeting.

The below comes to WalkBikeJersey from the good folks at the West Windsor Bike/Ped Alliance.  The location of their meeting is an easy bikable or walkable mile from the Princeton Junction train station (more below).

Andy Clarke, president of the League of American Bicyclists, (www.bikeleague.org) , the oldest national bicycling organization, will speak at the West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance’s annual meeting on Thursday March 17. LAB recognizes bicycle-friendly communities, businesses – even universities. Andy will talk about what we can all do to make our communities friendlier for bicyclists and pedestrians and why it matters.

In addition, WWBPA trustees will talk about our plans for 2011, including our second annual Community Walk, our West Windsor Bikes: lose the training wheels event at the West Windsor Farmers’ Market on May 21 and our efforts to expand West Windsor-Plainsboro’s participation in International Walk to School Day. We’ll also be taking suggestions from members about projects and activities that they’d like to see. In addition, we’ll be honoring three people for their service to the community and introducing our next group of student advisors.

It all takes place at 7 p.m. March 17 at the West Windsor Senior Center, off Clarksville Road at North Post Road, next to the post office. Light refreshments will be provided.

LAB President, Andy Clark to speak at WWBPA annual meeting

League of American Bicyclists President, Andy Clark will be coming to West Windsor on March 17th to speak at the West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance annual meeting.

Mr . Clark was scheduled to speak at last years WWBPA meeting which was scheduled a day or two before the New Jersey Bicycle Summit but had to cancel due to a horrendous snowstorm that nearly canceled the state summit as well.

WWBPA welcomes all bike/ped advocates to attend this meeting and will release more details as the event date draws nearer.

Two Important Bicycle Advocacy Events This Week

THE BICYCLE SUMMIT IS SOLD OUT!!!

However for all of you who wanted or just couldn't attend, don't worry, there is another landmark event happening this same week.
