Hi folks, Mayor Soglin has cancelled the second Ride The Drive for 2011. He's saying it hurts businesses and that he hasn't heard much support for the event. The last RtD pulled in 40,000 - 50,000 people so lots of people love it.
It's important for the Mayor to hear and see that Madison wants this event. One way to show our support is to show up for the "Ride with the Mayor" event for Bike To Work Week. When: Tuesday, June 7, 8:00 am (Note this time has changed from that listed on posters and other ads.) Where: SW Commuter Path x Glenway St. Google Map link: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=SW+Commuter+Path+at+Glenway+Street&aq=&sll=43.055186,-89.434118&sspn=0.012277,0.01929&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Glenway+St+%26+SW+Commuter+Path,+Madison,+Dane,+Wisconsin+53711&ll=43.055264,-89.438088&spn=0.012277,0.01929&z=16&iwloc=A Please join the ride and show the Mayor Madison wants more cycling.
