Consider Biking, our local bike advocacy non-profit, is sponsoring a 25-mile bike ride this coming Saturday, May 2, to publicize and show support for the upcoming Metro Parks levy which is coming to a ballot near you!
We'll meet and leave from the Franklin Park Conservatory and ride a 25-mile loop to one of the local Metro Parks. Franklin Park Conservatory has generously offered to provide end of ride "facilities", i.e. a place for us to gather and a cash bar. If you join us, I promise to buy you a drink!
The biking community is supporting the levy because if it passes, Metro Parks will assume responsibilty for repair and maintenance of the city's bike paths. This is important given the severe City budget cuts that will make it difficult for City Recreation and Parks to keep this up.
You can obtain more information about the ride at www.considerbiking.org. Hope you can join us!
Hey, Doug saw you left a comment on my blog, so I hopped over to peep yours. Digging it for sure. If you don't mind I'm going to put a link to this site from my blog. Ride Safe!
Peace,
Patrick
