Roanoke Cyclists Championing Goodwill

With the number of cyclists on the roads of Roanoke growing quickly, creating and maintaining a high level of goodwill between cyclists and motorists is enormously important so everyone can safely and efficiently enjoy our region's roadways.

Roanoke's cyclists are looking forward to demonstrating that they will be doing their part in "Sharing the Roads" - and then some - beginning at tonight's Famous Tuesday Night Beer Ride.

Blue Ridge Bicycle Club President Chris Berry and one of our regions strongest riders and supporters of cycling Rick Woods will be holding a brief rider meeting at 5:20pm tonight, ahead of the start of the Famous Tuesday Night Beer Ride.

All riders are asked to be present and supportive.

Among the goals of Roanoke cyclists is for motorists to broadly consider cyclists to be very considerate, kind and respectful toward motorists.

Please plan to attend tonight's brief pre-ride meeting, you're welcome and encouraged to come to the 10 minute meeting even if you're unable to participate in the ride.

Creating a community where cyclists and motorists are consistently friendly toward and look out for one another: 5:20 to 5:30pm, tonight Tuesday March 27th, in the parking lot of the Virginia Transportation Museum, 303 Norfolk Avenue Southwest  Roanoke, VA 24016.


Thank you,
