Bike Fund Threatened - Act Today

Brent Hugh, the Director of the Missouri Bicycle and Pedestrian Federation, reminds us that we need to act today to help save important funding.

Help Support Trails, Walking and Bicycling TODAY!

Your voice is urgently needed! The U.S. Senate is scheduled to vote on
eliminating walking and biking funds today, September 16.

You can call both your senators--and help put a stop to this--by following
the instructions here: League of American Bicyclist

Back in 2003, a few members of Congress tried to eliminate Enhancements
Funding--the main source of funding for bicycle, pedestrian, and trails
projects in the U.S.

That effort was soundly defeated--but only after a huge tidal wave of
ordinary people like you took the time to call or email their members of
Congress.

Now we need to do it again!
