Volunteers have the option to chose one week day on the September 13, 14, 15, or 20, 21, 22 between 7 am and 9 am, and one Saturday either September 10 or 17 between 10 am and Noon to complete the counts.

To make sure there are enough volunteers, another Bicycle and Pedestrian Count Training day will be held on the following date and location:

Location: USC-Aiken, Room 002 of the Business and Education Building

Date: Thursday, Sept. 8^th at 4:00 pm

A Note from the Wheel Movement Steering Committee

Wheel Movement shares in the varying degrees of grief, frustration and fear that have been expressed by cyclists in the CSRA following recent tragedies involving cyclists and motorists. Our response to these incidents is to continue working to establish educational, advocacy and outreach initiatives aimed at creating positive interaction amongst all users on our shared roadways. We hope to reach out to you for your assistance in implementing these programs in the near future.

Until that time, the Wheel Movement Steering Committee would like to remind you that it does not condone or support cycling behavior or initiatives that disregard the law and/or have the potential to generate consternation or hostile behavior toward cyclists. Instead, we ask for your patience and attentiveness toward the rules of the road as we prepare a forum and outlet by which we may all work productively to create a positive cycling environment in metro-Augusta.

Thank you for your support!
