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.
