Howard, Thank you for contacting me. I'd be happy to be a Madison contact person for the BikeWinter calendar. I will send out reminder emails to our local Madison Bikies Listserve as well as let others in the Madison cycling community know that the Madison BikeWinter calendar is available. I can't guarantee that folks will use it as much as you'd like to see, but we can give it a shot and take it from there.
Just so you know who I am- I'm a former Madison bike shop employee-cum-graduate student. With my business partner Ali Dwyer, I co-own We Are All Mechanics (WAAM) http://www.WeAreAllMechanics.com and through that we teach bike maintenance classes to women in Madison throughout the year. WAAM also holds 1-3 free winter clinics that are open to the general public during the winter months. Feel free to contact me as you feel necessary, and thanks again for including Madison on your site. -India *********************** India Viola Stretton Lab Zoology Research Bldg. 1117 W.
