“Five Foot” Magnets and Bumper Stickers Available

KBC’s Education Committee is distributing motor vehicle magnets and bumper stickers showing the 5′ passing image. So, pick some up at any of the local bike shops, put them on your car or truck, and give them to your family, friends, and co-workers.  Magnets and stickers are FREE, thanks to a grant from the DALMAC Fund, support from KBC coffers, and donations from several bike-friendly supporters. But, if you want to donate to the education fund to continue our educational efforts, please make a deposit in one of the donation jars at the bike shops.

“Give Them 5 – Keep Them Alive” Education Campaign

With a grant from the DALMAC Fund, support from KBC coffers, and donations from several bike-friendly supporters  the “Give Them 5” education campaign is underway.  Initiated and organized by Paul Wells, chair of the KBC Education Committee, the campaign is aimed at raising motorist and bicyclist awareness of recently approved five-foot passing ordinances in Kalamazoo, Portage, Kalamazoo Township, and Oshtemo Township.  As a means of getting the word out, yard signs are already beginning to appear along streets and roads in the Kalamazoo area. Available to anyone willing to put the sign in their yard, these signs can be obtained by sending an email to Paul Wells educationchair@kalamazoobicycleclub.org, who will also happily accept donations to KBC in support of the education campaign.
