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.

 | 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. |
