Missouri Bicycle News Article

MoBikeFed is looking for a few good volunteers . . . if YOU are interested in doing any of these jobs, please email director [at] mobikefed.org:

Online Calendar Editor: Help create a single unified bicycle/walking/running/trails events calendar for Missouri. The calendar currently receives some 10s of thousands of pageviews monthly during the summer season so you have a large and attentive audience! Your duties include approving events that are submitted to the calendar; adding events that organizations may email us; searching calendars around Missouri for events to add to the centralized calendar.

MoDOT Project Monitor: MoDOT has dozens of projects across the state that need public comment regarding bicycling and walking. You will spend a couple of hours each week checking on projects and comment deadlines, maintaining a list of projects and deadlines, and help MoBikeFed write comments and contact our members in the project area to help them submit comments.

BikeMO Chair: Spearhead the effort to run MoBikeFed's one annual fundraising event: BikeMO, our annual fall ride. We already have a fundraising chair so what we need now is a person to oversee the practical aspects of running the ride. This is a great event and we have a good crew already on board to help you make the event a big success!

Website Editor/Updater: Several of the most popular areas of the MoBikeFed web site need to be periodically checked and updated: The list of Missouri trails; lists of bicycle routes and maps, list of bicycle clubs, etc. You would check the links to make sure they are still good; remove or replace them if they are not; and find new similar links as needed for the page. This job requires a basic knowledge of HTML programming.

MoBikeFed Vision Support Coordinator: We want to get 100 organizations, businesses, and clubs to sign on in support of MoBikeFed's Vision for Missouri. You will contact Missouri bicycle, pedestrian, and walking clubs to ask for their support of the Vision and then track supporters and followup with those who have not responded.

Advocacy Network Organizer: On the advice of our lobbyist in Jefferson City, we plan to develop an network of two designated representatives in each Missouri senate and house district who will act as lead MoBikeFed contacts for that Senator or Representative. Your job will be to help promote and organize this program, keep track of our designated representatives (nearly 400 of them!) using an online tool, fill empty slots, and so on.
