<H2>Shifting Gears: A series of public action workshops to propel cycling in Charlotte forward</H2>
Are you interested in helping make Charlotte a better city for bicycling? Would you like to learn what the City and others are already doing and work with them to achieve this goal?
<IMG SRC="https://cdn.evbuc.com/eventlogos/13714645/shiftinggearroller.png">
If you answered yes to either of these questions, we invite you to join us!
On July 20th, with support from the <A HREF="https://knightfoundation.org/communities/charlotte/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Knight Foundation</A> and <A HREF="http://www.weeklyrides.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WeeklyRides.com</A>, Sustain Charlotte will be hosting the first in a series of public action workshops to propel cycling in Charlotte forward.
Following a presentation from CDOT’s Ben Miller about the City’s new five-year bike plan, we will break into small groups to identify specific actions that WE as community members can take to help transform this plan into reality!
Group discussions will be centered around the six elements of a bike-friendly city as defined in Charlotte’s new bike plan, which are: Equity, Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, and Evaluation.
These workshops are free and open to the public. Whether you are interested in biking but haven’t yet started, a weekend warrior, or a daily bike commuter -- everyone has a part to play in helping realize our City’s new vision for bicycling in Charlotte!
The workshop will run from 6:00 - 7:30pm with an opportunity to network before and after.  Join us at <A HREF="https://www.thespokeeasyclt.com" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Spoke Easy</A> for an afterparty and continue the conversations started at the workshop!  
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to get more informed, engaged, and make a difference!
