People for Bikes Unite! The letter below was taken from the CYCLEWERX website and we wanted to share it with you. Cycling is a great sport and healthy activity that is fun to do. The problem is, there are not a lot of safe and close places to ride. If more people and more of our government officials would work to create a safer environment for riding, then more people would do it. How much could we better ourselves and our environment (exercise, energy savings and pollution output) by biking places rather than driving. Here is the letter from John Dodd: "Hello friends of CYCLEWERX, We want to tell you about brand new effort to unite one million voices to improve bicycling in the United States by asking people to sign a pledge in support of biking. It's called peopleforbikes.org, and the goal is to make our country a better place to ride by sending a unified message to our elected leaders, the media, and the public that bicycling is important and should be promoted. More than 30,000 people have already signed the pledge, including Lance Armstrong! Please take a moment to check out the website and add your name. It is quick and easy, and it will help the future of biking. All they need is your name: peopleforbikes.org Whatever your background, whatever your bike, and wherever you ride -- everyone has a stake in building more bike lanes and trails, securing more funding, and influencing local and national policies to better support bicycling. Right now peopleforbikes.org is in its earliest stages, so let's help the campaign get off to a strong start. After all, life is better when it's experienced on two wheels. Please sign the pledge, and share the message with other riders you know. Thank you, John Dodd" Here is a link to Cyclewerx website! Thanks John and keep up the good work! |
