URGENT! Email your U.S. Senators today to preserve bike funding

We have just learned of this potential devastating bill, which could effect bicycle transportation, and saftey in the Grand Valley, Colorado, and accross the United States. Click here and take action!

Federal funding for bicycling is under serious attack. Today or tomorrow, Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma will introduce an amendment to eliminate dedicated funding for Transportation Enhancements, which is the main source of funding for bike projects of all types. We need you to take action today by emailing your U.S. Senators to urge them to oppose and defeat Mr. Coburn's amendment.

If Senator Coburn's amendment succeeds, bicycling in the U.S. will become less safe and more difficult. Twenty years of consistent, cost-effective investment in beneficial bike projects will stop.

After you take action take a minute and check out People for Bikes, join their list, and help their cause. Be sure to send this email to other interested folks.

FREE BREAKFAST on BIKE to WORK DAY!

where: In front of GJ City Hall at the fountain, 5th and Rood
when: 6:30am – 9:30am on Wednesday, June 22nd

If you are already a Junk Rider, and if we know you, then you are probably already biking to work (and everywhere else you need to go) this Wednesday. Well then let this be a personal toast to you in honor of the other 364 days of the year that you stick with it and ride in the cold, the rain, the blazing heat, the gnats, the wee hours, when you're wearing a skirt & heels, when you have an important meeting, when your gas tank of your car is full, if you have a basket (or pannier) full of groceries, whatever the case may be 'round the calendar year.

This Wednesday, however, may very well be the only day this year that someone offers you a free breakfast for doin' just what you do each and every day. Please come on down and join us to celebrate bikes and all of the places they take us. We'll be enjoying FREE coffee, bagels, donuts, fruit, etc. All you need to do to partake is arrive by bicylce!

This is a movement and you are a part of it. Please join us to celebrate with Grand Valley Bikes, CDOT, the City & the County in appreciation for everyone's efforts on behalf of biking and for the hope of what is to come here in our beloved western Colorado home.
