Let's give a hearty BCC welcome to two new team members! These two commute to work by bicycle several times a week. Thanks to Ursula Goldstein and Pamela Ott for referring these individuals to our team!
Jim Van Dyke is the president and founder of the financial services firm Javelin Strategy and Research http://www.javelinstrategy.com/. Jim is also the founder of PTown Bike Advocates, a cycling and advocacy group that inspired the city of Pleasanton to create its Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee to seek ways to make Pleasanton more friendly to bikes and pedestrians.
Over the years, Jim has forged excellent connections with the East Bay Bicycle Coalition. He encourages BCC members to be on the alert for any hazards that affect bicycle commutes and report such hazards using the EBBC Online Hazard Reporting System. http://ebbc.org/?q=hazards EBBC will forward our reports to the proper authorities. Jim also notes that hazards in Pleasanton should be reported directly via email to the traffic department. Emails can be sent to Mike Tassano, at Mtassano@ci.pleasanton.ca.us.
Julie Harryman is an assistant city attorney in Pleasanton. She discovered the joy of cycling to work during Bike to Work month in May, and just kept on riding! We are pleased that she is joining BCC and helping to change the way people get to work!
Hope to see you out on the road on two wheels! Kudos to all who have already ridden this first week in August. The miles are starting to add up.
