Summer is on the horizon. Are you making plans for bicycling?
Where do new riders come from?
Every bike club struggles with this question, as do those among us who advocate for more & better cycling. Please take a look at the photo above: it's an invitation to elementary-age children to take the "Bike Bus" to school.
I don't know who came up with this name, but kudos to Marco Speeks for leading a drive with Detroit Public Schools to get children active riding their bikes to and from school!
Marco wears many hats- he's the founder of Major Taylor Michigan, a Cycling Advocacy group in Detroit. He's on the board of directors of the League of Michigan Bicyclists, one of our partner organizations, and Marco is also a Tour Leader for Bike Tour Vacations.
This advocacy in supporting and fostering safe ways to learn to ride is a great thing for the future of cycling. If you know of someone doing their part to make cycling better/safer/bigger where you live, please reply back with some information. We'd love to share it in a future email blast.
