The city of San Jose Bicycle / Pedestrian Advisory Committee is a group of citizens providing input to city staff (mostly the SJ DOT) and city council (usually through SJ DOT staff) on issues important to people who walk and bike in the city of San Jose. Up to eleven members are appointed by the director of the San Jose DOT. Committee members must either work within the City or be residents of San José. Committee member terms last two years, with six seats expiring in even years and five seats expiring in odd years. A term on BPAC runs from July 1st through June 30th of the second year.
May 17, 20165 Comments on Library provides loaner locks
The San Mateo County Library in Portola Valley, CA provides loaner locks for patrons arriving by bicycle.
With a median household income of a quarter million dollars and a median home sales price over $2.8 million, I don’t perceive bike theft is a big problem in Portola Valley. Still, it’s a nice gesture, and I think it’s a good idea for any library.

Update: Apparently, some libraries around the nation keep bike locks stashed away, but you have to ask about them.
