Prime bike season is right around the corner

Dear Daniel,

Spring is arguably the best season for bicycling, but at PeopleForBikes.org, we're dreaming about summer.

That's when new and expanding bike-sharing systems should really get rolling all across our nation. More than 20,000 new short-term rental bikes will hit the road in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Tampa, San Francisco, and at least 20 other cities.

Meanwhile, an unprecedented number of well-designed bikeway networks are being built coast-to-coast. Thousands will open this summer. We're talking about lanes, paths, safe crossings, and green lanes that are separated and protected from motorized traffic. These interconnected facilities are crucial in making bicycling safer and more appealing for all Americans who want to ride.

We're working on a major summer expansion of PeopleForBikes.org. Nearly 700,000 Americans (including you) have already gotten behind our movement. PeopleForBikes.org has become an unprecedented political force that unifies everyone who likes bicycling…regardless of where and how you ride.

In the coming months, we will:

  • Make it easier for you to connect with the movement, both locally and nationally
  • Increase our support for local bike groups through investments and promotions
  • Dramatically expand the helpful, informative, and inspirational content on PeopleForBikes.org
  • Clarify and quantify a bold vision for bicycling in America that will give you clear reasons to get involved

...all towards the goal of making bicycling better in your community.

Enjoy your spring! Please stay in touch with PeopleForBikes.org for what should be a spectacular summer.

 

Tim BlumenthalThanks for being a part of our movement,
Tim Blumenthal, President, PeopleForBikes.org
