Feel free to pass it along to anyone who rides bikes. Thanks!

This year, around $700 million of Federal transportation funds, (less than 2 percent of total transportation dollars) will be spent on bicycling and walking. In 2012 that figure could be A BIG FAT ZERO. Show our leaders that bicyclists are voters too!
Join the Coalition, our state and national partners and call your Senator to let them know you support CONTINUED FUNDING FOR BIKING AND WALKING. The League of American Bicyclists has a simple site to find out who your Senator is, and allows you to easily contact them. We ask that you take just a moment and contact your Senator TODAY.
We have created a simple infographic to outline the importance of this issue, feel free to share with your friends and family:
