December is shaping up to be an excellent month for biking with something to do each weekend right up to New Years! Please visit http://www.biketempe.org regularly to stay on top of what's happening!
Call for Volunteers!
For the Tempe Light Rail Launch Party on December 27th, Tempe Bicycle Action Group will be operating a free bicycle valet service out of the Transportation Center's new BikeStation at 5th and Forrest. We need YOUR help! We are seeking volunteers to help us operate the valet service. Several of TBAG's board members will be coordinating the valet but we need help setting up, checking bikes in, parking them, providing security and tear down. Valet service will run from 9:30am to 5:30pm. Volunteers will be needed in various shifts between 8am and 6pm. We just met with City of Tempe staff yesterday so we don't have all the details worked out. If you are interested in helping just reply to this email and we'll get you more details just as soon as we have the plan organized. We will have more information on the blog very soon, both information about the party as well as information specific to the bicycle valet for the general public and would be volunteers.
We have had over 80 respondents to our member survey. A big thank you to those who have taken the time to fill it out. If you haven't had a chance to fill it out yet please do so by December 15th. Click here to take the TBAG Survey.

Based on survey feedback discussion forums was requested by > 40% of respondents. With the forums we hope to foster an even greater sense of community among cyclists in and around Tempe, as well as give our members the ability to converse freely with one another. It is in the sharing of ideas, tips, tricks, knowledge, etc. that we, and the greater cycling community, benefit. Click here to visit the Forums.
The Holidays have forced their hand on us and we've postponed the annual volunteer meeting until mid to late January. We'll announce a new date soon, stay tuned to the blog.
With the Holiday season coming into full swing, folks are more distracted than usual. What better time for bicyclists and motorists alike for a little safety review. The following resources are quite comprehensive:
