Congratulations to everybody in Asheville, NC! Your city council voted to approve the ‘Bike Plan’. We also presented the Bike Petition (here’s the video). The only vote against the plan came from Carl Mumpower even though it was clear he could not argueagainst its vision of our community.

Thanks to (l-r) Brownie Newman, Bill Russell, Vice Mayor Jan Davis, Holly Jones & Robin Cape for restoring our faith in Asheville. Over 50 helmet clad citizens endured the proceedings.
Here is the Asheville Citizen Times Coverage of the historic vote.

Some of the other key players in making this happen are Mike Sule (Asheville on Bikes), Barb Mee (French Broad MPO), Claudia Nix (Bike Ped Task Force), Eric Krause (Bike Plan Steering Committee) & Yuri Koslen (UNCA Transportation Planner). There are dozens, even hundreds more people that played a part in this groundbreaking decision. Great Job everybody!
