@mandiberg That’s true! I lived on Staten Island a few years back and worked at CSI for a semester… but I could not get the nerve to bike up there. It was just too darn scary. (I lived down by the Outerbridge Crossing.)
Maybe we should consider creating docs for the list of routes and other material? That way, the info will live in this group instead of out on the separate wiki space.
But, yes, we’ll definitely need flyers & things that we can post (with permission as necessary) on our campuses/offices. Unless someone here is an experienced graphic designer and wants to jump in, I’m going to take a stab at designing a flyer. (ETA: I’ve enlisted the help of Melissa from Makewell to help us design a logo for the group! She and her partner are being very generous and providing the work pro bono.)
Perhaps somewhere down the line, we’ll want to partner with Transportation Alternatives and/or Bike New York to offer workshops and other events (to encourage cycling and promote safety)? And maybe we can plan group rides around NYC?
…I keep thinking long-term. I can’t think of anything else we need to get started on right away. Hope others jump in with their suggestions!
