I was just in the Main Courthouse today renewing my Driver’s license. I looked at the table of information they have in the lobby. Nothing about bicycling at all on it (not even mountain biking trails). That would be a great place to have Huntsville Bicycle maps and Greenway maps distributed.

Also, in the offices of the Shuttle Buses they have a table with the bus routes. Having Huntsville Bicycle maps and Greenway maps available right there would be helpful. [I know they have them in the visitor's center, but that's inconvenient if one is trying to make a bus on time.]

I know James at Outdoor Omnibus has already given away one full box of Huntsville Bicycle maps, so he could use another one if he hasn’t gotten another one already.

I’ve already given away 10 Bicycle maps myself as I always have one extra on me to give to anyone who might be interested. Only one of them was alerady a commuter bicyclist. Two have become part-tiem bicycle commuters since I gave them that map and pointed out the bicycle stencils on the road for traffic lights.

The University Center at UAH would be a great location if they allow it, as would all the Residence Halls. I don’t know about A&M and Oakwood or Calhoun.

Hope this helps.

I’ve added a few more bicycle parking rack locations to the OpenCycleMap, this is best viewed at the 3rd line down on the “zoom” thing on the left. Permalink below for downtown:

The small blue squares are bicycle parking of 15 or less, while the blue squares with the white “20? are bicycle racks that can hold 20 or more bicycles. I was more than generous as to how many some racks can hold, mainly just to make sure they showed up well on the map.

This page has what I’ve done so far as logging down where bicycle racks exist in Huntsville:

Good Job!

Thanks Man!!!!
