Let's Roll--- CBHS, tomorrow!

Let’s roll to CBHS!

Tomorrow night (Thursday) at CBHS there will be a meeting regarding the installation of bike lanes on parts of Shady Grove Rd and on Brierview.

The meeting is at Christian Brothers High School at 6:30 pm. City officials and engineers will be there.

Some of us will ride our bikes to the meeting. Here are some options for you to pick from if you want to ride with others.

From east Memphis, cyclists will gather at the Super Lo parking lot at 5:45 or so, with a roll out no later than 6 pm. We’ll try to stay together so we arrive together. The pace won’t be fast. It is only 4 miles or so to CBHS from Super Lo. Mountain bikes, commuter bikes, recumbents, fixies, and even high dollar road bikes are all welcome to join in this bike caravan.

From Midtown, there is a ride organized by the cyclists at Revolutions. The ride will leave from Revolutions (First Congregational Church, 1000 S. Cooper) at 5:15 p.m. in order to make it to the meeting by the start time of 6:30 p.m.

Or, if you just roll down Shady Grove, my guess is that you will eventually hook up with someone else going to the ride.

By the way, headlights are required by TN law after dark, and they really increase your visibility. And, a red rear blinky taillight is a must after dark. Helmets are a smart choice, too.

I don’t know anything about bike parking at the meeting – I don’t think they’ll have valet bike parking—thus we might need 5-10 minutes to lock up or otherwise secure the bikes. Some might prefer to freshen up, especially if it is 95 degrees like it has been lately.

Hope to see a lot of y'all there!
