The EAC discussed and exchanged ideas related to page 54-55 of the Bike Plan;
"The City should investigate the potential for bicycle related tourism and recreational
economic development opportunities that are based on the unique experiences that Fort
Collins and the surrounding area offer visitors and residents. This information will help to
understand what factors attract those individuals or businesses that are considering a
move to Fort Collins."

The EAC plans to create a Bike Plan position statement to recommend to Council
considering the establishment of a Bicycling Advisory Committee that can help narrow
down the fiscal impact of bicycling in Fort Collins.
