Several FFBC members have purchased the Cycliq video cameras (Fly 6, Fly 12).  Craig Davis of CyclistVideoEvidence.com will be holding a town hall meeting at the Castro Valley Library in Castro Valley on November 1st (Thursday) from 6:30pm-8:30pm.  The topics discussed will be the best way to use the video cameras, reporting near miss incidents, and working with law enforcement.  Since this subject matter is new to almost all of us, I recommend that members attend this meeting.  I also will be attending this town hall meeting.

This month, we’ll have Matt Bomberg, a Traffic Engineer from the City of Fremont:

“Matt Bomberg, Senior Transportation Engineer with the City of Fremont’s Public Works Transportation Division, will present an overview of the City’s Bicycle Program.  The City adopted an updated Bicycle Master Plan in July 2018 that lays out a comprehensive program to increase bicycling in Fremont through engineering, education/encouragement, planning, and evaluation.  A centerpiece of the City’s Bicycle Program is the creation of an “all ages and abilities” bikeway network.  This presentation was recently presented at the Institute of Transportation Engineers International Annual Meeting as an example of a best practice Bicycle Program for a mid-size, suburban community.”

We will also be electing the incoming board for next year. The nominees for each position are:

President: David Walker
Vice President: Glenn Kirby
Treasurer: Rob Tashjian
Secretary: Randy Fewel
Ride Coordinator: Dennis Dong
Race Team Liason: West Kurihara

As before, the club will supply food for members. This month, David Walker will be bringing in Burritos from Chipotle.
