  • BBP Employee Handbook
    Boise Bicycle Project Employee Handbook 2010 Edition Boise Bicycle Project- Volunteer Handbook Introductory Letter Welcome to Boise Bicycle Project! I can still remember waking up early on Christmas morning in 1986, the 4 th year of my life. I actually don’t think I even fell asleep that night. I knew I was getting a bicycle, it was the only thing I asked for, and the only thing I wanted. When I ran into the family room and looked under the tree, there it was, my very first bike. It was a white and black BMX bike with off road tires and Murray written on the side in bright red letters. I had just received my first key to the world; the adventures to come would be limitless. The idea of Boise Bicycle Project (BBP) originated from Co-founder Brian Anderson and my shared passion for cycling and shared dissatisfaction with Boise’s incomplete cycling community. We knew there must be other people in Boise who felt the same way, we knew Boise needed a community ran bicycle cooperative that would offer bicycles and bicycle education to everyone regardless of income, and we knew that with the help of the community, we could make it happen. In October 2007 Brian and I purchased 60 bicycles from the Boise Youth Ranch for $20. We began fixing them out of a 200 sq. ft. studio apartment and distributing them to children of low-income families. Soon, the word caught on and we quickly out grew the small studio. The community began sending us all of their old bikes, and volunteers began to pour in.

  • Cycle to Work Scheme
    Cycle to work scheme Frequently asked questions Below are some questions and answers that you may find of interest when considering whether to participate in the Cycle to Work Scheme. 1. What is the Cycle to Work scheme? The Cycle to Work scheme was introduced by the Department for Transport. The Government allows employees to hire bikes and certain related safety equipment on a tax-free basis known as salary sacrifice scheme (see point 2). The Cycle to Work scheme helps to promote healthier journeys to work, and reduce environmental pollution. The University works with Edinburgh Bicycle Co-operative in order to make the scheme available to staff. 2. What is a salary sacrifice scheme? Under a salary sacrifice arrangement an employee gives up the right to part of his or her salary and receives a non-cash benefit from the employer in return which will not be subject to tax or national insurance deductions. Further details about salary sacrifice are available on the HMRC website at: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/specialist/salary_sacrifice.pdf 3. How long is the hire period? The hire period is fixed for a period of 48 months. HMRC have issued guidance to provide a simplified method for the valuation of bikes at the end of the hire period, in the form of a ‘Valuation Table’. The hire period of 48 months has therefore chosen to minimise the market value payment, payable by you, at the end of the hire agreement period and is not negotiable. Deductions from your monthly salary will, where possible, start from the first salary payment after you signed the hire agreement.

  • Pedal Peak District Final Report
    Pedal Peak District Final Report December 2009 – March 2011 Description Pedal Peak District was the Peak District National Park Authority’s premier cycling development project, funded and supported by the Department for Transport and Cycling England, from December 2009 to 31 March 2011. The project was fully supported by Derbyshire County Council, High Peak Borough Council, Derbyshire Dales District Council and Visit Peak District. Pedal Peak District has delivered significant infrastructure development and a social marketing programme. The Infrastructure work constituted a major element of this project. At the time of writing a great deal has been achieved and the works are still continuing for a late spring 2011 opening. The four closed tunnels have been cleared, surveyed and repaired and the entrance doors removed. Work is currently taking place to install a power supply and lighting. The tunnels, structures and a large proportion of the trail is also to be resurfaced and the access improved at Blackwell Mill Cottages, Great Longstone and Coombs Road. New signs will be put up on the trail, along with interpretation about the new route. This will include listening posts outlining the history of the tunnels. This work has involved the balancing of a large number of needs including detailed consideration of the unique landscape, conservation and heritage features of the trail, tunnels and the surrounding area. These features, and the issues that they raise, together with the limited project timescale have meant that the full link to Buxton through Woo Dale cannot be achieved in the project term. Planning consent has been achieved, through Peak Cycle Links, for a section of route to the north of Buxton at Staker Hill.

  • 8 Recommended Programs
    8 Recommended Programs Comprehensive education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation programs are critical to increasing the number of bicycle trips and improving safety. Such programs ensure that more residents become aware of new and improved facilities, learn the rules of the road, build confidence to operate a bike in live traffic and receive positive reinforcement for integrating bicycling into their daily lives. In essence, the programs outlined in this chapter reinforce the idea and shift toward bicycling as a viable and sustainable transportation option. This Plan supports the continuation and enhancement of the region’s education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation programs that are currently in place. The following programs are designed to increase the rates of bicycling in the region, increase safety for those traveling by bicycle, and raise awareness related to the multiple benefits of bicycling. Table 8-1 provides a summary of the recommended programs. The San Gabriel Valley is widely recognized as one of the most culturally diverse regions in California with English, Spanish and Chinese as the three primary languages. Therefore, any non-infrastructure programs implemented in the region’s communities should be developed with strong consideration of the diverse language and cultural needs of the San Gabriel Valley’s residents.

Biking in Cleveland: A Guide is here to help you take the next step towards incorporating biking as a part of your everyday life. In these pages you’ll learn how to choose a bike, how it should fit, how to ride safely, useful resources, general tips, and information that will help make your commute a wonderful and fun experience.

  • An Intelligent System for the Improvement of the Public Bicycle Rental Service
    Departamento de Sistemas Informáticos y Computación Universitat Politècnica de València An intelligent system for the improvement of the public bicycle rental service MASTER THESIS Master Universitario en Inteligencia Artificial, Reconocimiento de Formas e Imagen Digital Author: Carlos Diez Alba Tutors: Vicente Julián Inglada Adriana Giret Javier Palanca Course 2016-2017 Abstract Urban transportation systems have received a special interest in the last few years due to the necessity to reduce congestion, air pollution and acous- tic contamination in today’s cities. Bike sharing systems have been proposed as an interesting solution to deal with these problems. Nevertheless, shared vehicle schemes also arise problems that must be addressed such as the vehi- cle distribution along time and across space in the city. Differently to classic approaches, we propose the architecture for a multi-agent system that tries to improve the efficiency of bike sharing systems by introducing user-driven bal- ancing in the loop. The rationale is that of persuading users to slightly deviate from their origins/destinations by providing appropriate arguments and in- centives, while optimizing the overall balance of the system. In this paper we present results for one of the system’s modules, which will allow us to predict bike demand in different stations. The proposed module has been tested in a realistic scenario, the bike sharing system in the city of Valencia (Spain). Also, a second module is introduced. This module is in charge of calculating and offer to the user the best route an user can travel, using the information gen- erated by the first module, taking into account the balance of the bike-sharing system.
