State Capitol bicycle rally and ride on June 5
By mike | May 5, 2008
I guess protest is too strong of a word.
But if you’re tired of vehicles buzzing too close to your bicycle… if you think our roads should have wide shoulders or designated bicycle lanes and if you dream of a day you can ride in traffic and feel safe… then mark June 5 on your calendar and participate in the Lucinda Means Advocacy Day June 5 at the State Capitol in Lansing.
You can get the details here but, to quote from the sponsoring League of Michigan Bicyclists:
June 5, bicyclists from around the state will join forces for a RIDE & RALLY at the State Capitol building. Our goal is to show state policy makers that bicyclists have a collective voice. And that voice is concerned about bicyclists’ safety on roadways.
Just by showing up you will make a difference, since there is truly strength in numbers! You will learn which issues LMB is targeting and how you can reach out to your state legislators. We will arrange for you to meet with them that same afternoon.
If you’re a bicyclist who wants to improve the state of cycling in Michigan, come rally with us. Afterward, enjoy lunch on the Capitol grounds, compliments of the League of Michigan Bicyclists.
There’s no charge. Proceeds are paid from the Lucinda Means Bicycle Advocacy Fund. It was established to further the mission to which Lucinda so passionately dedicated her life. Lucinda’s friends who wish to honor her life and vision are encouraged to contribute in her memory. Lucinda tragically died of a stroke at the age of 49 in 2005. She was the former director of the LMB.
I’ve signed up for this event. Anyone want to meet me in Lansing?
