The Spring City Cycling Club (SCCC) was founded in 1892! https://www.springcity.org/

There’s even a women’s division called the Rocket City Cycle Belles (RCCB). https://www.facebook.com/groups/RocketCityCycleBelles/

In 2008, citizen advocates convince the newly elected mayor Battle to form the Bicycle Advisory and Safety Committee (BASC) https://www.facebook.com/groups/1366468327053612

Another newer 501(c)3 in town in the Huntsville Urban Bike Share (HUBS) Coop is dedicated to getting bikes out of storage and into the community. They advocate for transportation options that allow all people of all ages and abilities to have and exercise the freedom of mobility and advocate for safe infrastructure for pedestrians, bicycles, and all types of vehicles.

Another 501(c)3 in north Alabama is the Singing River Trail , that advocates to build a multi-jurisdictional trail system in 9 counties of north Alabama bringing economic impact and recreational opportunities. https://singingrivertrail.com/

The City of Huntsville has several projects in the works. One is in coordination with the North Alabama Land Trust. https://landtrustnal.org/explore-our-lands/

I talk about this city council meeting along with a lot of other things coming flying at my mind from the directions it pays attention to.

I blab foolishly about the goings-on at city hall (and county courthouse) as I see them for . . .

Sat down for a conversation with Councilman Keith about the new Affordable Housing "czar" -- paid city position! -- and all things housing +.

Remus and I have a conversation about Huntsville (and Decatur) government and policing. I hope you'll listen in and enjoy.

We jaw a lot about things like music festivals, public housing, cell phone driving laws, and more!
