It might be productive to set up a parking space or two and teach bike maintenance and perhaps some verbal bicycling training. Anyone interested?

Of course, they don't have hoards of college students roaming the streets at nights, so the sculptures have stayed in pretty good shape!. Still, I love this idea. Would you like it advertised on Green Morgantown in terms of volunteers? If you organize a meeting or gathering to discuss let me know...
