			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good news:  <a href="http://rainbowjersey.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/PRESS_RELEASE_bfc_fall2011.pdf">The League of American Bicyclists announced</a> that Shorewood has been designated as a <em>Bicycle Friendly Community. </em> <em>Shorewood is the first and only village in the State of Wisconsin to earn the BFC award.  All  other Wisconsin BFCs (Milwaukee, Madison, Eau Claire, La Crosse, and  newcomer-this-year Sheboygan County) are all much larger than Shorewood.  Only a few communities nationwide with comparably-small populations (below 15,000) have earned the recognition. </em>Almost 500 communities nationwide have applied for BFC recognition, and of those, currently 190 are designated as BFCs.  With  this award, Shorewood joins such other BFCs across the country as New  York, Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, Boulder, Vail, Breckenridge,  San Francisco and Palo Alto.   Getting  Shorewood designated as a BFC was the first project Greater Shorewood  Bikers took on, and we are pleased that we have been successful (a  thanks to all of you who helped out by contacting the Village, and  expressing support for the application).  Achieving this goal helps us  advance GSB&#8217;s overall mission:   <em>&#8220;</em>Working to make Shorewood  an even better place than it already is to bike, so as to  help make Shorewood an even better place than it already is to live,  play, work and grow a business.&#8221;  Although there is still much to do, a goal acheived is a milestone worth commemorating, so GSB is hosting a gathering <strong>next Tuesday evening (Sept. 27th), at The Three Lions Pub, starting at 8:00 pm. </strong>At the event:</p>
<ul>
<li>See the unveiling of the Village’s new BFC Signs (scheduled to appear)!</li>
<li>Talk with the genius who is drafting the Village’s new comprehensive bike plan (and give your input)!</li>
<li>Meet Village officials behind recent Shorewood bike improvements!</li>
<li>Hobnob with fellow bikers!</li>
<li>Meet Greater Shorewood Bikers!</li>
<li>Drink tasty beverages!</li>
</ul>
<p>All this and more, Tuesday!  Hope to see you there.  &#8211;  Sandie (Co-Peloton Leader, Greater Shorewood Bikers)</p>
