One Million Voices

Bikes Belong recently launched a new effort to unite one million voices to improve bicycling in the United States. It simply asks people to sign a pledge in support of biking. The campaign is called Peopleforbikes.org, and the goal is to help make our nation a better place to ride by sending a powerful message to our elected leaders, the media, and the public that bicycling is important and should be promoted.

I have signed the pledge. To date, more than 90,000 people across the country have signed the pledge, including Lance Armstrong, Gary Fisher, and bike-friendly Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak.

So please take a moment to visit the website and sign the pledge. It is quick and easy. You will help the future of biking and ultimately you will be enhancing the work of the League. All the campaign needs is your name and email address: www.peopleforbikes.org/signpledge

Great Bicycling Blog!

Lovely Bicycle. One of the best blogs about the love of bicycling I have seen. Sound sensible advice about buying and caring and riding your bicycle.


"Entirely frivolous and self-indulgent, this weblog has no agenda. I like cycling and I like beautiful bicycles - particularly classic and vintage bicycles with lugged steel frames."

US Bicycle Route System Begins Connecting America

A planned nationwide network of routes and trails will connect communities all over the country, creating alternatives to car travel and countless recreational opportunities. States can apply to incorporate their trail network into the Route System. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHaood reports that 19 states have already begun planning and implementation.

The plan is intended to reflect the nation’s growing desire for more choices — and the reality that cities and counties are beginning to promote different ways of getting around.
