Two local bicycle non profits are merging. Bike Carrboro and the Bicycle Alliance of Chapel Hill are in the planning phases of merging. The two organizations are joining forces under a new name and an updated mission. For the month of February, they are seeking suggestions for a new name!
They will vote on the final candidates in March, and the winner will receive a small token of our appreciation. What’s in a name? Some cyclist named Shakespeare had this to say: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose; By any other name would smell as sweet;”
Finding a good name is hard work. We want something snazzy, and easy to say and remember. It needs to reflect the values of the organizations which is to promote and advocate for cycling. But not just cycling, pedestrian rights, safety and mobility for people not in cars. Have an idea? Take this survey and submit yours!
The groups reserve the right to exclude some suggestions. Of course, suggestions that are not polite or predictable (I jokingly suggested “Bikey McBikeface”, nobody was amused) .
So, think of a cool name, and if you want to get involved in the new organization, email [email protected]
