Mayors' Ride
Washington D.C - Santa Cruz, CA
Every year in Washington DC, a group of riders leave for Pittsburgh, PA from the DC Bike to Work Day celebration. They complete a 300 mile journey armed with a proclamation supporting the National Bicycle Greenway from the DC Mayor. Upon reaching Pittsburgh, riders are brought to City Hall by a "velocade" (the police are all on bikes!) where a brief ceremony witnessed by the local media finds them in receipt of yet another proclamation expressing support for the NBG. This process repeats itself in major population centers across the US, where each add their own unique flavor to this national trek to the annual Santa Cruz NBG Bike Festival.  Find out more!

As a result of such efforts, the National Bicycle Greenway network will establish the bicycle as a desirable part of the transportation mix. As more of the Greenways is built and maintained, for a fraction of the cost of building even just a few miles of interstate freeway, the many advantages of bicycle transportation will soon become evident.

We need your support!
