City of Ventura's 1st Annual Bicycle Summit

09.8.07



Saturday




START TIME: 10am










Children, families and adults are invited to Ventura's 1st Annual Bicycle Summit on Saturday, Sept. 8 with children's activities, safety and maintenance demonstrations, prizes and helmet giveaways, a cycling film festival, and citywide bicycle master plan workshop.



Sponsored by VCCool (Ventura Climate Care Options Organized Locally) and the City of Ventura, the scheduled events are:



10 a.m. to 1 p.m.: Bike Rodeo (Free) at Sheridan Way School, 573 Sheridan Way

A rodeo where children can meet bicycle racers, learn about bicycle safety and skill, learn minor bike repairs, receive a free youth bike helmet (while supplies last), and enter a raffle to win a working, used bicycle. Children may bring their own bike and helmet, and should wear close-toed shoes. Bikes and helmets will be available for loan during the event.

What is a bike rodeo?
It’s an event where kids get to do lots of fun activities and learn about bikes and bicycling. Parents are encouraged to accompany their kids. We’d like to hear from both youth and their families, how to improve Ventura for bicycles!
(For Kids Ages 5 – 14)

What should kids bring?
• Your bicycle, close-toed shoes, your helmet.
• If your bike isn't working, bring it. We’ll try to fix simple stuff.
• If you don’t have a bike, come anyway and borrow one.
• If you don’t have a helmet, come anyway – we’ll give you one.

Bicycle Stations at the Rodeo:
Bicycle safety check and minor repair
Helmet safety and adjustment
Learn Bicycle Arm Signals
Bicycle Skill Course.
What bicycle lane improvements would YOU like? (+free helmet to kids who need one)
How do I take care of my bicycle?
Cool bikes from history, and bicycle equipment.

Fantastic bicycle puppet show! (showing 10:30 and 11:30)
Enter the raffle to win one of two free kids bicycles. Must be present to win!

What if kids get there at 11:00 instead of 10:00?
No problem. Folks will be coming and going the whole time because there are different stations and you just rotate through the ones you’re interested in. Just remember, it ends at 1 pm.



1 p.m. to 4 p.m.: Bicycle Film Festival ($5) at Bell Arts Factory, 432 N. Ventura Ave

Enjoy exciting, inspirational, funny, and artistic films all about bicycles and bike-able communities. The award-winning "Contested Streets" (short version) will be featured, followed by a discussion led by Bob Banner, publisher / editor of HopeDance Magazine.


CONTESTED STREETS: the European solution portion. (a film cut)
BIKE HAPPENING: very cool art and bike film with cool music.
EVEN THE GIRLS: a short film about girl bike messengers in LA
MEMORIAL RIDE: remembering bikers who were hit on the road.
NYC PEDICABS: a great film about pedicabs in NYC.
HOLLAND TUNNEL: a guy rides his bike through the NY Holland tunnel.
GODS CHILDREN: when kids try to deal with bike theft themselves.
TRY THE PATCH: hybrid cars are still just a “fix.” Get a bike!
WE AREN'T BLOCKING TRAFFIC, WE ARE TRAFFIC: the title says it all.



5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.: Bicycle Master Plan Workshop (Free) at Bell Arts Factory

Open to anyone interested in providing input and learning about the citywide goal to develop a plan that coordinates the use of off-street bicycle paths, on-street bicycle lanes, and designated bicycle routes into a comprehensive system that benefits both recreational and commuter bicyclists.

The important thing here is to really be prepared with details. Go on a bike ride. Jot down difficult intersections and places where bicyclists are inconvenienced or endangered. What about kids on bikes? Think about what it would take to make getting there by bicycle safer for you.

Then, come share your ideas with the city about all the things that could make our city great for bicyclists. They’ll tell you about the BikeWay Plan so far, and get your input. Together, we can make this place rock!
