Could You Host a Bicycle Sign in Your Yard?

Montpelier Bikes still needs a few hosts who live along main streets in town:
  • Northfield St. near the motel, and
  • State St. out near the creemee stand
Can you help? We now have signs on College St., Terrace St., Barre St., Main St., Elm St., and North St. (Thanks to Phyllis, Nancy, Suzanne, Heather, Mary, Ken, Cass, Gretchen, and Caroline!)

We have 10 of these plastic yard signs, similar to political signs but with a bicycle-friendly message! Speeding makes our streets uncomfortable for bicycling, and many parents in Montpelier indicated that traffic speed is a reason they don't let their children bike to school.

If you live along a major street, please let us know if you would be willing to put a sign in your yard this summer, and store it somewhere safely for the winter to put back up next spring. Please email if you can host.
