About me
- Lise Blades
- That's not me in the photo, but would I love to do that! As it is, I'm just the Chairperson for the Lyon Township Park Advisory Committee, and to be honest, I'm also a big kid at heart. When I started thinking about what to add to our park, I thought immediately of BMX. Now, the last time I rode BMX, I think I was 10 and my brother converted my Schwinn street bike to something I could take on the track across the road. I vividly remember the thrill of the jumps, the wind in my face, and the police officer telling my dad we were trespassing. Thankfully the memory of the concussion is fading, but the experience is still fresh after 28 years. If you think about it, my experience has all the elements of what NOT to do. If we had a track in our community, kids wouldn't have to sneak onto private property, they would ride properly outfitted bikes, and they could rent safety gear. The idea of starting a track has been knocking around my brain for about a year, and now it's time to get your opinions. Tell me what you think, and I'll take it to the Township powers that be. My goal is to get a track up and running by the 2009 season--just in time to get my kids into it.
Give us your thoughts...
Next Steps
- Generate list of people willing to be part of the non-profit organization to run the track.
- Generate list of people who would ride at the track.
- Generate list of bike shops or businesses that would support the track.
Do you want a new track in the area?

The logo looks really good.
I like the logo but where is New Hudson?
Logo looks great. Although you may find it hard to screen print the fine screen tint/half tone in the background.
John, don't you know, New Hudson is the capital of Lyon Township!
logo looks great.. maybe some color When will the t- shirts be avialble?
I bet Town & Country Bike Shop in SL would have some interest in this as well. The legendary Otto works or worked there I think (from the old Westland store on Middlebelt). He is an old school racer like many of us.
hey this is ken with tnc bikes. yes the legendary otto is still around. He works in livonia. our stores are all around park. brighton, livonia saline, of course SL. We would love to help. call the store an ask for ken.
TnC would love to help. Call the store ask for ken. We have some of the best BMX riders in MI. around ten in all. Yes otto still works for us out of our livonia shop. we have four stores that would help support a track. thanks ken
