Burlington Bike Night (Every Tuesday from 5:30-8pm)

[AHAMAYs2]

Even though it makes even less sense then DBN, because it's not in Burlington.

Great job.

[markbvt]

Awesome write-up! I wish I was there! "BBN" is cool too! (Even though it makes even less sense then DBN, because it's not in Burlington).

Actually, the idea was that we could use Burlington's airport code and make it BTVBN. That way all we have to do for the logo is take the existing one, rearrange two letters, and add a B to the beginning.

Anyway, Winooski is part of the greater Burlington metro area...

good times... good times...

On my way home, I always see this group of 5 or 6 bikes parked outside a house on my street. I always want to stop over, but every time they are hanging out in the driveway, I'm in my car!

Anyway, I stopped on my way home last night and talked to them, they will hopefully be there next week.

What a great turn out. That place was packed with awesome bikes! Besides that large group of "awesome" guys that left making all that noise and that one guy in the skull cap who was way to "awesome" to pull over alittle more so that a car could get by.

I wish I had gotten there earlier but I was glad to get there a little past 7pm, just in time to see the last remnants of the festive atmosphere... I should have went on the creemee ride. Someone needs to be last in line, slow & steady is my pace It was a great night to ride.

Great write Parker...Great to run into Mark, Parker, KornDogg, Baggey22, OutdoorsGuyVT... I think we should make up some nametags.

Parker...think about a twitter id for bike night...easy way to post pics as they happen...but there are other ways too.

Hey, who is responsible for the traffic cones? whose traffic cones are they anyway?

[korndogg]

Most of us regulars move the cones around as cars leave spaces. Whoever's closest!

[Baggey22]

The cones belong to the pizzeria, they let us borrow them during Bike Night so that stupid cars can't take the spots away from us.

Great write-up, Parker, and great to see everyone! I've got to get my schedule sorted so I can hang out longer, though. Don't you go calling my Beemer rin-tin, though. I'll grab some cards from you next week and hand them out at the shop if that's cool with you.

Thanks for spreading the Daily Rider love, everyone. Every day folks come in and say their buddy said we were the place to come in town. You're keeping us afloat! The Daily Rider website should get a major face-lift soon and will have much more up to date info. In the meantime, come see us at 777 Pine street!

Okay kids, here are the cards. I finished them early this morning. We want "Burlington Bike Night" on them right? Not "BTV Bike Night"? Seems to roll off the tongue easier but I did both just in case

Huffer, I have real files for you.... don't use these as they are the LOW resolution ones.






And here is the back. I hand drew up the map so we wouldn't have to use bing or google's as they were both hard to read that small and the roads were not 100% right on either.



Thoughts before I send them off? Don't give me major changes Just if there is something I am missing that is messed up

[catamount]

I vote for "Burlington" spelled out... and I like the map!

Looks great Jason, but do we really need the HTTP:// in the URL for the site? If anything, I would say put www., but really VTBIKENIGHT.COM would work best. I think the BTVBN thing was just for when we wanted to shorthand it, Burlington Bike Night is better for the business cards.

Excellent feedback man!

The reasoning behind that was that while either is correct using http:// allowed me to make it exactly as long as the text below it.

Yeah, I got the same impression about 'only when we want to shorthand it'.

Cool, good stuff!

How is this:

Yeah, I figured that was probably the reason for it. It's fine as is, so whatever works best for you. Nice work!

[yesterdayze]

Oh and are you guys okay with making it "www.btvbikenight.com"?

That way it matches our name and other reasons...

Sounds good to me, and yeah, it will avoid another drama eruption with certain people, but do you have that URL registered?

[korndogg]

Someone should register btvbikenight.com and btvbn.com. We could even just redirect to this thread for now..

I'll register the names if no one else would prefer to.

Already did that this morning

[korndogg]

BTVBN.com is still available!

[yesterdayze]

BTVBN.com is still available!

no, it actually isn't it probably just hasn't propagated through all the dns etc yet.

I only bought it earlier today.

[korndogg]

Ah, shows taken now..

Alrighty, carry on.. lol

[pk4882]

Is the word "Tuesday" missing from the cards, or am I blind?

PK

[korndogg]

wow, good call.

[pk4882]

They look great, though!

Thanks... I was one of the last to leave so I was just policing up the cones & stacking them on the sidewalk in front of Donny's because I wasn't sure where to put them... I guessed right. Just wanted to be helpful & tidy.

[JohnCVermont]

Seriously... those cards are going to look great ... Huge props !!
