Your help needed with the getDowntown e-newsletter.

The October issue going to be focused on biking.

Please email me your hints and tips on commuting by bike including any brands of bikes you like for commuting, bike commuting accessories, and great places to commute in Ann Arbor.

Also, something I thought might be nice to have in the enewsletter and on the getDowntown Blog would be what the area bike shops have for people who want to commute.

So if you are up for it, visit a bike shop, let them know you are getting information for the getDowntown enews on bike commuting. You can ask the person the following questions:

1. What’s the best bike for bike commuting?
2. What’s the cheapest bike for bike commuting?
3. How do I deal with bike commuting in the winter?
4. What sort of accessories/clothing do you recommend for bike commuting?
5. What if I have a kid? How do I commute on bike with an infant? A school age child?

So basically, I’d like people to know what is out there at some of the stores. If you go to a store, let me know which one you visited and the answers they gave to the questions. Feel free to add new questions. If you want to answer any of these questions, go for it. If you want to take pictures and email them to me, that’s fine as well. If you want your info in the enewsletter, get it to me by Sept 28^th. If you get it to me later, I’ll post it on the blog.

Thanks!
