And now an announcement from a Bike Fed Board member: If you are a Bike Fed member, please vote <http://board.wisconsinbikefed.org/>! Candidates often win or lose by one or two votes, so you really can make a difference in the outcome of the Board of Directors of the statewide bicycle advocacy organization. http://board.wisconsinbikefed.org/
If you are not a member, you can still vote! Just join Bike Fed, and then vote. Yes, you can buy the right to vote in this election. As far as my recommendations (which people always ask me about), I am only going to give one specific one and some guidelines. There are always more good candidates than there are spaces, so below is the one person I'm really pushing for and why. FWIW, I would be especially excited about *Steve Hiniker* joining the board. He has a wealth of experience with multiple non-profits, the transportation/land-use link, and forming working partnerships and coalitions with other organizations. I've been trying to get him to run for the Bike Fed board for a long time, and would be a fantastic addition. I also want to see good gender and geographic diversity on the board. As far as I can tell, we aren't going to get any racial diversity on this round, but maybe some people have experience with underserved communities or other groups that currently aren't well represented. Read the profiles and their answers and make your own choices, but make sure to vote!!! As far as others, you can ask me off-line about anyone else, and if I know them, I'll give you my opinion. I don't know all the candidates, but do know the incumbents and several other non-incumbents. As I said, there are more good candidates than spaces available. Robbie Webber, Bike Fed Board member
