Roadskater.net, edited slightly for brevity:
There's a bicycling, walking and perhaps skating and more human-powered transportation coalition being formed in NC and being named and defined as an organization this week.
You can make your input into the name by responding to a survey.
....
There's an email group you can join, too, if you're interested in a North Carolina advocacy group for biking and walking and maybe skating and similar activities.
....
There's a meeting at the downtown Marriott in Greensboro, Friday, October 26, 2007 at 1:30 PM that is intended to be convenient not necessarily for us, but for people attending the NC Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations.
....
I [Roadskater.net owner Blake Lambert] hope to be there because they are writing the by-laws.
....
Maybe we can add an easy fun skate and bike on the new part of the Lake Brandt Greenway and some dinner afterward.
....
One place to find out more is Bicycling in Greensboro.
