Re: Ride to work day.



Stuart,

I noticed the same lack of riders on the way in today.  I ride to 
work every day and the number of bikes on the road seemed 
about normal, thus a lot of folks who do not normally ride did not 
ride today, either.

An option to help our voices be heard here in the USA is to join 
the AMA.  While I do not agree with all of the policies of the 
organization, I feel that in the long run it does more good than 
harm, and thus I am a member and happily pay my dues so that 
they can carry on with their work.

Just food for thought and something to consider if you are not 
already a member.
