Today our advocacy group-Iowa Bicycle Coalition came into Muscatine to have lunch with club members and local officials to discuss bicycling in and around Muscatine. The following paragraph describes their mission.
The Iowa Bicycle Coalition will be taking a number of trips this year to explore different areas of Iowa. We will ride the trails, roads, and streets. We'll investigate safe routes to school, work and shop. We'll be spending time talking with cyclists, bike clubs, organizations, bikes shop folks, elected officials and businesses. Let's explore Muscatine and talk bicycling.
We had lunch at the Button Factory and sit around the table for a good hour and half discussing local issues and then got on our bikes and headed down the bike path and out Hershey Ave. to the new bike path section added there and then it was back to the Button Factory. I believe we had 11 in total at the luncheon and 7 of us biked afterwards. All in all-a great day to be out on a bike (80 degrees) and some good discussion on biking issues that face us in Muscatine.
