Bicycle Indiana Organizational Plate Approved

Sunday, June 13, 2010 by The Latest Buzz from Bicycle Garage Indy
 A Message from Randy Clark, Bicycle Garage Indy Founder and President:


On June 1, the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) approved Bicycle Indiana’s Share the Road organization license plate. Beginning in January, 2011, you can purchase this plate for an additional $40, and $25 will be directed to Bicycle Indiana, for its efforts to improve bicycling in the State of Indiana. This year’s successful effort would not have been possible without the efforts of thousands of Indiana bicyclists who signed the petitions all these many years! 
 
Anyone who signed the petition this Spring will receive a mailing from Bicycle Indiana with instruction on ordering their own plate, or can ask to be put on mailing list for information here.  Plans are being made for a special fund raising auction for plates numbered 1 to 100, with more details to follow later this summer. I’ve got my checkbook out!
 
In celebration of this accomplishment, Bicycle Garage Indy will include a 1-year membership in Bicycle Indiana (a $25 value) for every person who purchases a bicycle from BGI from June 11th through June 30th. Please provide your email address at the time of your bike purchase because Bicycle Indiana’s newsletters are only delivered via email.
 
Thanks again for all those many years of support for the bicycling plate – we did it!

Randy
