For those of you who are not aware of the origins of BIKE EIBER's Bike to the Rockies Game -- it came from the Rockies organization itself.  They have two great programs that revolve around helping the environment -- their "Wood for Wood" program that donates a tree for every home run the Rockies hit during those particular games, and the continuation of Bike to the Game.  Click on the Green Rockies Logo above to learn more and purchase tickets.

 

 

Continuing Action Plan: 
Wed Apri 10....

Denver Is Crowned Cycle Town, USA 
Press Realease, April 4, 2013
DENVER, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The Mile High City Defeats Portland, OR, Minneapolis, MN and Washington, D.C. in REI's Cycle Town Showdown.  The people have spoken - and Denver has emerged triumphant in REI's hotly contested Cycle Town Showdown, which pitted several U.S. cities against each other in a battle to see which city was the most bike-friendly.

Elevating the Conversation: Raised Bike Lanes Are Coming to Chicago 
By John Greenfield. Apr 08 2013
I'm a fan of the city's efforts to get a total of 100 miles of protected bike lanes (which put a physical barrier between cyclists and moving traffic) and buffered bike lanes (conventional bike lanes with extra dead space striped on either side) by 2015. Protected lanes are crucial if we're going to significantly boost Chicago's bike mode share because they attract the so-called "interested but concerned" demographic, folks who would like to try urban cycling but are worried about getting hit by cars. The Chicago Department of Transportation deserves kudos for installing 11.4 miles of protected and 18.65 miles of buffered lanes in the last two years.

[Note to below; Hopefully as the West Corridor gears up, developers will come to understand that with 55,000 registered students along the West Corridor bike path, construction of such a residential complex in combination of the light rail bike path could easily attract many of those students, and thus, creating a lively atmosphere].

By Ryan Dravitz, Dec 18 2012
...Cruise is promoting the use of bicycles, hence the name of the building. Cruise residents will be very close to City Park, downtown and some great local eateries in the neighborhood to give great opportunities to utilize bikes.

I thought that I would share the following missive that came from the FaceBook site "Why I Ride." March 29, 2013

 

Why I Ride: From Cyclist Emily Kachorek

 

"I ride because I am addicted to the endorphins and to the adrenaline. I ride because the second my legs start turning circles I become a happier person. I ride because I love to feel the wind on my face and listen to the birds and bugs. I ride because it allows me to take out my aggression and anger. I ride because it stabilizes my life and creates balance. I ride because going downhill at 40mph makes me feel wild and free. I ride because I can't cry and pedal and the same time. I ride because it allows me to play with the boys. I ride because I can go alone. I ride because even though I have ridden the route a 1000 times, I never know what is around the next bend."
