Share the Road News
Many thanks go out to the Ridge Rider Athletic Club for donating $1000 to the Share the Road campaign! With their donation combined with those from other generous individuals, we will have 75 signs installed throughout Jonesboro and Craighead County. 
 
Downtown Bicycle Parking
The Northeast Arkansas Bicycle Coalition is partnering with high school students from the NEA Career and Technical Center to provide bicycle parking for historic, downtown Jonesboro.  Under the direction of Mr. Michael Barrett, the students are building 20 standing bike racks as part of their community service project and will be submitting their work as part of a state-wide welding/engineering competition.  The racks are to be installed in the coming weeks.
