If you have any questions, or would like to know how you or your organization can become involved with the Nevada Bicycle Coalition, please send us an e-mail to carrielhenderson@gmail.com or leave a comment here. If you are organizing an event in the Reno/Sparks area this summer and would like to have us come out and provide bike valet parking to help alleviate the traffic and parking problems at your event, contact us and we can discuss the details.

Check out this video on how European countries have integrated biking into city planning!

It would be so awesome if this guy, or someone similar, could present this info to Reno city planners.
Is the “Safe Bicycling in Nevada Pocket Guide” your publication? If so, how can I obtain a copy. Thank you.
Elaine, we need to push cycling as a safe, effective way to commute, shop and socialize to the maximum extent possible.
We may even need to encourage people to live longer and healthier.
Please include me in whatever announcements you have as we pursue the myriad of steps toward alternative energy and conservation.

Stephanie,
The “Safe Bicycling in Nevada Pocket Guide” is a publication of the NV Department of Public Safety. In fact a new version has just come out. It should be available at most bike shops. You also can ask Laurie Anne Grimes to send you one – lagrimes@dps.state.nv.us.
Thanks for asking.

Hi,
I commute everyday from Silver Knolls (Red Rock Road) to Reno. The shoulders on North Virginia Street and the bike lane on McCarran Blvd. are full of gravel, broken glass, and other debris that cyclist fear. I contacted NDOT and the City of Reno about sweeping and was told they would take care of it, it never happened. I again contacted them the on Monday before Bike to Work Day and was told they would try to get it done. Well, to date, I am still dodging debris that sometimes forces me to take a travel lane.
Who else can I call to get the hazards taken care of.
