Our guest from the City of Coquitlam was unable to attend at the last minute. Nevertheless we had a wide ranging discussion of local cycling issues:

1. Jack T. discussed BTTW. Numbers seemed to be up. 40-45 cyclists. IOCO/Guildford is the best spot for Port Moody/Coquitlam. Also noted that afternoon stations are preferred in terms of interacting with people. Discussed best place for future station in PoCo: Leigh Square/City Hall. Nice central location.

2. TriCities should do a joint bike ride with Surrey to check out their new infrastructure.

3. Jack T: working on getting HUB tee shirts for TriCities. Also,looking into a tablecloth with logos for our info events.

4. Port Moody: Discussed bike lane situation. General opinion that Spring St.route is not adequate.Andrew (PoMo Transport Committee rep) proposes to ask for part of Clarke to become bike lane. Not being used most of the time. Key part of ungap the map

5. Fiona: Simple effective bike registration site: 529 Garage. Check it out.
