They will not wear us down — Tell your Senator: I bike. I vote.

Senator Rand Paul is proposing legislation that would take away the small amount of money that goes to bicycling programs and redirect it to bridge maintenance. It would be just a tiny drop in the bucket and it won’t even begin to solve the problems with our bridges. But it sounds good and some Senators might buy it.  We must let our Senators know how critical the safety of bicyclists is. We need biking AND bridges, not one or the other.

Please tell your Senator: “I bike, I vote. Please, preserve Transportation Enhancements.”

League President Andy Clake explains what this is all about:

The attacks on bicycling spending seem relentless. Fortunately, no one is more relentless than cyclists. If the critics of bicycling in Congress think they can outlast us, they’re wrong. But they are trying again to do away with Transportation Enhancements. We can’t let any attack go unanswered — and this one is for real.

Please tell your Senator: “I bike, I vote. Please, preserve Transportation Enhancements.”
