Bike Friendly Workshop

The Faribault Area Chamber of Commerce invites you to attend a Bikeable Community Workshop.  This workshop is part of an effort to make our community more bike-friendly. The workshop is being presented by the Minnesota Departments of Health and Transportation and the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota. 
 
We invite you to participate in this five-hour workshop on May 14  from  9:00 am – 2:00 pm in Conference room of the Chamber office located at 530 Wilson Ave. We believe you can help us develop realistic strategies to make our community a safe and more pleasant place to bike and thereby improve the health of our residents.
 
At the workshop, we will learn more about successful bike design, safety, education, enforcement, and encouragement. We will relate these concepts specifically to the community by studying a bike route during the workshop. A bike audit to this area will help us understand and identify obstacles to biking and suggest potential short-term and long-term solutions. Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for the weather that day. Also, bring along a bicycle and helmet to participate in the mobile workshop portion—a leisurely paced [4-5] mile bike ride in small groups highlighting bicycle facilities and opportunities.
 
We hope you will be able to participate in this important workshop. Please contact the Chamber  at 507-334-4381 or chamber@faribaultmn.org to RSVP (please let us know, yes or no) or with questions.
