Mount Olivet United Methodist Church at North 16th
Street and Glebe Road held a “Bike to Church Sunday” on August 19. Despite
rainy weather, the church turned out 20 bicyclists and one electric-wheelchair
participant for this initial event. Church members distributed bicycle maps,
answered questions about routes to the church, and conducted a transportation
survey in order to determine how to provide more transportation alternatives
for churchgoers attending services and other events.
You can do the same at your house of worship. For copies of the free Arlington Bike Map and bike bells, contact me below.
I would really like to have an event like this at our church here in Montana. Our town has a Bike/walk/bus week that is quite popular this April and it would be great to be a part of this. These are some good ideas, especially the bike map. If you have any other suggestions based on your experiences, I would love to hear them. We were considering some sort of picnic or gathering afterward to give a communal element to the event as well.

Where's the secure bike parking? Do County site plan conditions for providing bicycle parking facilities in new developments now include houses of worship? If so, what are these standards?
