<\/a><\/div>\nLast year, the Bicycle Alliance launched its Hub & Spoke outreach tour and visited four communities around the state:\u00a0 <\/span>Wenatchee, Vancouver, Walla Walla and Everett.\u00a0 <\/span>We are continuing the tour in 2011 and our next Hub & Spoke stop is this Thursday in Olympia<\/b><\/i>.\u00a0 <\/span>You can find event details here<\/b><\/a>. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It can be challenging to stay connected with our members when we cover a state that is over 70,000 square miles and divided by a mountain range.\u00a0 <\/span>The Hub & Spoke tour is proving to be an excellent vehicle to keep the connections fresh.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hub & Spoke is social by design, held at pubs and restaurants to give attendees an opportunity to network with Bicycle Alliance representatives and with each other.\u00a0 <\/span>The events are timed to coincide with Transportation Improvement Board <\/b><\/a>meetings so we can familiarize local advocates with this potential source of funding for non-motorized projects.\u00a0 <\/span>The Bicycle Alliance staff also reviews our legislative and program priorities with attendees, and we give folks a chance to tell us what\u2019s on their minds.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The formula is successful.\u00a0 <\/span>We averaged 35 guests per event last year and had a mix of current members and new faces.\u00a0 <\/span>Attendees expressed their gratitude that we are making the effort to visit communities around the state.\u00a0 Other 2011 tour stops include Mount Vernon, Spokane and Richland.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Hub & Spoke tour was made possible by a grant from the Alliance for Biking and Walking<\/b><\/a> and you can read a recent post<\/b><\/a> about it on their blog.\u00a0 <\/span>Check our website<\/b><\/a> or the Bike Bites <\/b><\/i>e-newsletter for future Hub & Spoke dates.<\/span><\/div>\n
