BIKE: More council candidate surveys, and TBC's secret advocacy

[Michael Bluejay]

Five candidates for city council positions have returned the 
BicycleAustin survey and their answers are on the website.  That's 1/3 
of candidates.  Could be better, could be worse.  I could say the same 
about their answers.  I'll endorse tomorrow.

Also, at the Yellow Bike Shop at Wheatsville I recently noticed a flier 
for some event called something like "Cyclists in Suits" where cyclists 
were supposed to ride with legislators, though I saw the flier after 
the event had already happened.  Sounds kind of like a Political Pedal 
thing, but with a different date, different organizers (Texas Bicycle 
Coalition), and not much effort to get the word out.  Did anyone else 
know about this?  If so I wish you would have posted to this list so 
everyone here would know.  If it was posted here and I missed it, I 
apologize for not seeing it.  Otherwise, I guess this is part of the 
TBC's new strategy of being effective advocates by not letting anyone 
know what they're doing.

Finally, big thanks to ACA for publishing the list of Bike Month 
events.  Now I don't have to.  Whoo-hoo!
