THANK YOU

Thank you for making Roswell a Bicycle-Friendly Community.

Because of you,

-Roswell’s streets are safer

-Our citizens who ride are healthier and they can travel around town without getting in a car. 

-Good people are moving to Roswell to live in a bicycle-friendly community

-Local business are making more money, starting with our bike shops

-Bicycling events are benefitting local charities, like the Hospitality Highway Century that benefitted the Ga. Transplant Organization. 

-Being designated as a Bicycle-Friendly City has improved our image.

You are not just helping Roswell, you are helping the state.

-By riding to the Capitol every march you are  to influencing state legislation.

-By becoming a Bicycle Friendly city you are a model for other cities.

-Everyone here tonight who is not already a member of Bike Roswell should join because  if you don’t own a bicycle Bike Roswell is good for Roswell and deserves your support.

   BICYCLING’S  FUTURE

With your leadership, Roswell will become a Platinum Level Bicycle-Friendly Community.

Before the end of this year we will open a new multi-purpose trail along Holcomb Bridge Road so that you can ride from Horseshoe Bend to East Roswell Park and the rest of the city.

Whenever we re-pave a street, we are widening the pavement and narrowing the lanes from 12′ to 11′ to give you more room to ride.

We are planning a multipurpose loop trail around Roswell connecting our neighborhoods to all our parks.

The Criterium will be returning to Canton Street next year.  Among other improvements, I have suggested to Eric Broadwell that we add a parade of decorated  bikes.

I would appreciate your vote on November 3rd so I can continue to make Roswell even more Bicycle Friendly.
