It was in the wee hours of the morning. The 4:30am edition of WABC Eyewitness News was already on. Dealing with a bout of insomnia I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had to do a double take!
But low and behold there it was. The People for Bikes "If I Ride" video was on major network TV asking all that would see it in the Metro New York area to make the pledge for a better future for cycling in America. You should too!
Enjoy the video below if you haven't seen it before. It was edited for a 30 second TV spot and the narration ends right before you hear "If I ride, I can wear Spandex like Spiderman," (Thank God they cut it off before that line!).
Please take note of what real bicycle amenities look like, as every scene in this video was shot in Portland.

People for Bikes asks Americans to write Congress
The following message comes to WalkBikeJersey from Time Blumenthal, Director at People for Bikes.org:
We need you to send a short email today to your U.S. Representative that:
Bicycling and walking are essential to our communities.
Federal transportation investments that support these activities boost our economy, help individuals and government agencies save money, and directly address key societal challenges such as obesity and road congestion.
Biking and walking currently total 12% of the trips that Americans make but cost just 1.5% of our transportation spending. That’s the type of cost effectiveness we need now!
