I wish I could ride more
Aug 23rd, 2008 | By Jason VH | Category: BlogDon’t you? Don’t you wish you could leave behind all the conflicts and schedules, the responsibilities and obligations? We think you should. At least for a little while, and if your boss gets upset, just tell them you’re doing research for SF Urban Riders.
It’s true, we could use some intelligent people doing some riding research. What kind of features would you like to see in a bike park? What do you think will best benefit the residents around an area, what do you think will be an easy 1st phase to implement before we really get going on the big dreams? (a network of trails all throughout SF).
We could really use help from anyone who has accomplished these goals, like people from the BBTC (Creators of Seattle’s Collonade) or groups that have put them into places like Folsom, CA, or NY, NY…
And that leads us to those of you that might not be able to do the kind of research conducted while attempting two wheel drifts around a turn. Does anyone know about liability laws? We’re learning, slowly and surely, but we certainly need some plans in place when we bring our master plan before rec and park. There are many questions that need to be answered about how to keep this ($#*%&(#$*%&!! litigious society at bay, and let them allow us the construction of a bike park.
So help out if you can, riding, researching, talking and thinking, and bring thoughts and talk to our next meeting!
Just a reminder:

1st thing we’ve locked on is establishing location for bike park.
We have a location in mind, and will be illuminating on that topic at the 8/25 meeting. Even have discussions with the Land Manager lined up.
SFUR has already done the hard part of Crafting the mission and dissecting the politics that abound…… SFUR now needs input and support from the Cycling Community!
