Bicyclists at Valdosta City Council 10 November 2011

Courtesy of the camera of George Rhynes, here are the Citizens to Be Heard at Thursday's Valdosta City Council meeting. Most of them are frequent cyclists, with a surprise ally speaking first.

• Health and safety through bicycles —Roy Taylor

• We have just had a very divisive issue —Ken Klanicki
  OK, Ken wasn't talking about bicycles, but the next one doesn't make sense without Ken's talk.

• Truth really needs no defense! —George Rhynes

• Bikes, Students and Public Meetings —George Rhynes

• Community's need for public transportation, bike lanes, and walking —Heather Evans

• How about some bike racks? —Matt Portwood

• I'm a bicyclist —Jim Jones

I think that's all of them.
