We all hope that bicycling is a priority in every town. But the reality is that we’ll probably have to work toward that goal one town and city at a time.
With that in mind, here’s your chance to make bicycling a priority in one city. Denver, Colorado will soon be electing a new mayor. The previous mayor, Hickenlooper, was a big supporter of bicycling and biking infrastructure.

In a preemptive move, a Colorado biking coalition is collecting signatures on a petition to give the new mayor when he takes office during the summer of 2011. It is the hopes of this coalition that the new mayor will be as supporting of bicycle initiatives as the previous mayor. (who is now governor)
So here’s why I’m telling you; visit the Bicycle Colorado website and sign the online petition to keep bicycling as a priority. We can all do our part to make biking a priority in every city in America and to keep it a priority, no matter who is the mayor.
