Meeting Notes
Critical Mass CHICAGOLAND BIKE 2 CAMPUS COALITION IS WORKING ON THIS. Couple of proposed routes: With IIT: https://goo.gl/maps/UN54K(about 10 miles) Without IIT: https://goo.gl/maps/kDYbT (about 6.5 miles) B2CC suggested that the route should end north to get more participation Kate prefers longer route.
Spin classes/ Rec to Rec Ride- will not count toward logged trips for Bike2Campus week, however OS can promote as earth month event.
Pit stops/ maintenance checks
o Pit Stops will consist of a table with biking info and swag but also a laptop/ iPad so folks can directly log their trips. The maintenance check could be next to the pit stop that has an “expert” that can help with chain lube/ air in tires.
o Various UIC departments/ units will host a Pit Stop. “Hosting” means the unit will staff the table for the hours signed up. Hours are flexible and up to hosting unit but should occur in the morning.
o Do we contact bike shops to ask to staff the pitstops?
o Will the UIC Police have Pit Stops alongside each scheduled Pit Stop, or will they have their own? Will the do registrations at each stop?
o Coffee is preferred at each Pit Stop
▪ CSRC- can give coffee at their Pit Stops. Can they provide coffee to others?
▪ Pete’s Coffee on Halsted and Maxwell?
▪ Coffee alley?
