Bike Advocacy Groups in Chapel Hill and Carrboro are Merging
Combining efforts, naming, and resources makes sense.
Earlier this week, 23 bike advocates met at the Chapel Hill Library to discuss the next chapter of the two local bicycle advocacy groups - Bicycle Alliance of Chapel Hill (BACH) and Carrboro Bicycle Coalition (CBC). It is worth mentioning that it was close to an even split of residents from the towns Chapel Hill and Carrboro.
In summary, we are moving forward with merging the two groups. Combining efforts, naming, and resources makes sense. It is a great time to tune in if you are passionate about helping people replace car trips with biking or walking.
