"I Share the Road" license plate

(Excerpt from Feb. 2011 Spoke and Wheel newsletter...)

Message from Nancy Tibbett, Executive Director, Bicycle Indiana:

Greetings and Happy New Year!

It’s finally here!  The day has finally come: On Jan. 3, the I Share the Road license plate hit the road in Indiana. A key point to remember: $25 from every $40 I Share the Road specialty plate fee goes to Bicycle Indiana to support our efforts to improve cycling in Indiana.


As we've told you in previous notes, Bicycle Indiana’s goal is to see 8,000 plates issued our first year. This is an aggressive goal, and we’ll need your help to make it happen. We’ll use proceeds from the plate sales to support our ongoing cycling advocacy and education programs, and to provide grants to local cycling organizations. This grant process is not yet defined, but we will introduce and define it for your members in the coming year.

Thanks to the support, drive and dedication of Indiana cyclists, as of January 3, 2011, you can obtain your I Share the Road license plate from the BMV and proudly display your pedal passion even when you’re driving. 

You have three options to get your plate:
   1.  Visit a BMV Branch
   2.  Call 1-888-692-6841
   3.  Go to www.mybmv.com

If ordering online, be sure to click the box marked “Allow BMV to share my information with this organization.” If ordering by phone or in person, let the BMV representative know you want to share your information.

Website in progress...

Sorry, folks, that the links and info are still out of date. My edits last evening on Upcoming Rides did not take for some reason. Lots of work still needed -- hopefully this weekend. Keep coming back -- it will be better soon!  --Julie

New Web Page

Had to go ahead and bite the bullet and activate the new page. I apologize that everything is not included. I will work on getting everything updated (dues increase, upcoming rides/times, links, etc.) Appreciate your input -- I'm new at this but want to make this a great site and very usable for the club.  ~Julie

Great Bicycle Club

The Spoke and Wheel Bicycle Club is full of friendly people.  I have been a member only a short time and have found the fun and fellowship of the group to be encouraging.  It gives a whole new dimension to my riding.  The newsletter is filled with tips and information that have improved my riding skills in a very short time.
