RenewLV will host a brown-bag session this Friday, 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. in the Community Room of Allentown Center Square, 15 North 7th Street, Allentown (entrance faces corner of 7th St and Hamilton St). It's all about bicycling.Steve Schmitt, who heads up the Coalition for Appropriate Transportation (CAT), will be one of the panelists. He'll be joined by John Schubert, Pennsylvania Pedalcycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee, and John Sharpe, Bike Allentown.
I remember the last time Schmitt conducted a panel about "appropriate transportation" in Allentown. Local activist Joe DeRaymond decided to go, got into a shouting match with Schmitt, and Schmitt stole Joe's car keys. He ended up walking 7 miles home. At night. In the rain.
If you would like additional information, or have any questions about the event, feel free to contact Steve Bliss at sbliss@renewlv.org or 484-893-1060. Bring money for a cab or a bus. And check the weather forecast.

"Bring money for a cab or a bus"
Shouldn't we bring our bikes?
Are there safe secure bike racks there?
I think I was at that meeting. It was now several years ago, but memorable for the emotional outbursts. Also, the shouting match ended when the car keys were thrown at Schmitt and the owner of them stormed out of the room. I couldn't say who the aggravated party was, but could this have happened to Schmitt twice?
