Who would’ve thought that a groundhog, a pirate and a pair of valentine sweeties would play such an indispensable role in establishing cycle infrastructure within our city? After winning best use of theme in the recent holiday parade, Asheville on Bikes, a fledging group of commuter advocates, invested its prize money to promote The Bike Locker Project.
The Bike Locker Project recently submitted a grant to install twenty-five bike lockers in the downtown area. Bike lockers allow commuters to safely store their bikes and belongings within weather and theft-proof containers. The implementation of bike lockers is the most significant contribution to building a lasting cycle infrastructure in Asheville.
Please come out at 8 p.m. on Feb. 10 to the Wedge Gallery and enjoy Bike Love, an evening of music and bicycle mayhem. Exercise your enthusiasm for sustainable and green transportation throughout our city by attending the celebration.
