Southeast Mass NEMBA partnered with Urban Parks to hold a great event at the Blue Hills Reservation, and CT NEMBA worked with the Recycle Bicycle Clinic in New Britain to hold a stellar event at the MDC's West Hartford Reservoir. The Recycle Bicycle kids work in the clinic bike repair shop earning credits toward the purchase of a new bike, and learn repair skills, proper work habits, and improve social interactions. The bikes they create go to a homeless shelter to help the residents get to work and group meetings. We thank Massachusetts' Department of Conservation and Recreation and Connecticut's Metropolitan District Commission for allowing us to provide safe and enjoyable locations to get kids off their couches and out on to the trails. Childhood obesity has become an epidemic in the US, and with city streets becoming too dangerous to ride on, mountain biking offers a perfect solution to the threatened health of our youth. CT NEMBA Joins Expo at CT Parks and Recreation Conference Paul Bassett and CT NEMBA president David Singleton staffed an outreach booth at the annual conference attended by 450 parks and recreation profession- als from all around Connecticut.

One area improvement would be to add more tight, twisting singletrack that appeals to various trail users, including mountain bikers. There are trail maintenance days organized by the trails committee almost every other weekend, which will be posted on the Wachusett email list soon.

Please make the appraisals as uniform as possible, based on the guidelines below. IRS guidelines suggest a “market value”— however, there is NOT a large market for second-hand bicycles hence the values typically are quite low. The IRS suggests that valu- ations be in line with what a person would generally receive at a "rummage sale", "flea market", or "swap meet", i.e., linked to realistic fair market re-sale values.

Bikes hit me kind of like caffeine. Sparks in my bloodstream, voltage tingling my nerve endings, pulse stepping up into a proper rhythm. Stuff like that. That’s what bikes do to me that wool sweaters and herbal tea and comic books don’t. Changes_63175 Trek.indd 1 8/1/08 12:56:29 AM You know what I’m talking about, right? It’s not even riding bikes, necessarily. It’s just the thought of them, the smell, the feel, the idea, the notion, the daydreams and the nightdreams, the looking forward to rides I haven’t taken and looking back on a million rides I have taken. (Man, I wish I’d counted every ride I’ve ever been on. I’d love to know what that number is.) It’s true. I’ve been on, around, and about bikes for more than a few years now, and I’ve had time to refine my bike thinking. I’ve come to a conclusion. Not a big proclamation — more of a traveling thought from a guy breezing by on two wheels. Here it is: I think bikes have a purpose. I don’t think I’d be much for a bike museum. I like art museums, because paintings were painted for the purpose of being looked at and pored over in a museum. That’s what a painting wants to do.
