There are probably people on this list that attended the
1988 conference that formed the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin. If
so, e-mail me. We're planning a reunion, 25 years and 5,000 members
later. If you weren't there in 1988, get with Bike Fed now, as this
organization is what gives you a voice in shaping Wisconsin's public policy.

Celebrate the Bike Fed's 25th Birthday at Bicycling Lobby Day!
Next month marks 25 years since a visionary group of bicyclists
convened the first ever gathering of the Wisconsin Bike Fed. Our
successes and momentum over the years would not have been possible
without these important leaders. Please attend our
<http://bfw.org/events/bicycling-lobby-day/>Bicycling Lobby Day on
April 9 to continue the vital work of protecting bicyclists' rights.
At the end of the day we'll host a
<http://bfw.org/2013/03/06/a-quarter-century-of-the-bike-fed/>Quarter
Century Celebration of the Bike Fed during our evening reception.
We hope former board members, former staff and all of you, our
members, will join with us to celebrate where we have come from and
where we are going.
In honor of our 25th Birthday, we are extending our Early Bird
Registration for Lobby Day.

Bigger transportation pie, but a smaller slice for bikes
The 2013-2015 budget (AB40) Governor Walker submitted to the State
Assembly February 20th proposes to increase the biennial
transportation budget from $5.7 billion to $6.4 billion. Hold on
though, even though the pie just got a lot bigger, the slice for
people who ride bikes is significantly smaller.
