join bike jc in working towards a sound bicycle policy.

JC doesn't have a cycling policy. We've got some stupid bike route signs that nobody pays attention to.

Bike JC's Annual Jersey City Ward Tour takes 500+ riders around the six wards of the city as a show of bicycling enthusiasm and pride in the city. This photo is from the June 2011 ride.

Jersey City Council members Steven Fulop and Michele Massey will join the Bike JC board and their general members to discuss their views on safe streets, smart streets, and bicycling in Jersey City.

The meeting will take place on Thursday, March 22, at the Hudson Pride Connections Center, 32 Jones Street, Jersey City, from 8:00 pm -10:00 pm.

The public is very welcome to join the discussions.

Bike JC is a citizen-based advocacy organization that aims to make Jersey City streets safe and welcoming for bicyclists, by promoting traffic law enforcement, bicycle lane creation, additional bicycle rack placement, education, and group rides.
Bike JC brings together citizen cyclists, policy wonks, planners, parents, business people, and commuters in working towards making city streets safe for all.

Its signature initiative is the Jersey City Ward Tour, which takes 500+ riders around the six wards of the city, as a show of bicycling enthusiasm and pride in the city. This year's tour, the third annual ride, will take place June 3.

For a glimpse of action at last year's tour, see the Second Annual Jersey City Ward Tour gallery.

The Bike JC board encourages anyone interested in smart streets, bicycling policy, bicycling, urban planning, or transit to join them for this very important meeting.
