I know this is a repeat for some, but this is a direct plea from someone working on a national campaign for better bike facilities, more respect for bicyclists, rights, money, all that good stuff we want.
Please pass it on to clubs, teams, friends, other lists, etc. -- Robbie >Please take a minute to complete the 2nd Annual Bicycling Magazine survey on >voting, bicycling usage, and demographic information. Go to >www.bicycling.com and on the right-hand side, in the middle of the column, >you'll find the "Take our Political Survey and Sound Off" link. > >This survey is really important. We're going to use the data collected as >part of the National Bike Summit on March 5-7. The data collected in the >survey quantifies bicyclists as voters, tax payers, and users of roadways >who want federal funding to continue for bike lanes, bike trails, and better >education for both bicyclists and motorists. Last year, nearly 1800 people >took the survey. This year, we want to hit DC with responses from 5000 >cyclists across America. > >Our message to Congress, delivered in person through hundreds of meetings at >the National Bike Summit with every member of Congress, and backed up with >the survey data in hand, is that cyclists are a huge constituency of voters >who spend our incomes to use bicycles for transportation, recreation, and >sport. We want continued federal funding for bicycle facilities (more than >$2 billion since 1991), routine accommodation (safe bike access on any roads >or bridges built), and Safe Routes to School programs (so our children grow >up riding bicycles). As voters, taxpayers, and small business owners, we >demand no less. > >Please take a minute to complete the survey so we'll have powerful data for >the National Bike Summit. I'd also like to thank our friends at Bicycling >magzine for hosting this important survey. > >And if you haven't endorsed the America Bikes agenda (www.americabikes.org.) >please do this as well. These are two easy ways for you to speak out about >your passion for bicycling.
