markpedal said:My name is Mark,
Besides me "real job" as a quality engineer, I currently hold the Membership Chair of the Rapid Wheelmen Bike Club in Grand Rapids MI., am our 2006 (24th) Annual Colorburst Charity Tour, am the Coordinator of the Grand Rapids Ride of Silence and I'm the Michigan Director of Ride of Silence, reporting to the board in Dallas.
As of today, I'm proud to say that we have 17 locations in Michigan that will hold a Ride of Silence on May 17th, 2006, leading the nation, with another 1/2 dozen locations seriously considering holding one.
I urge all my fellow cyclists to go to: http://www.rideofsilence.org
and learn what the R of S is about, and what the Ride wishes to promote:
Remembering those that can no longer ride with us, and to help educate motorist that they need to Share the Road with us. Same Road, Same Rights, Same Rules.
Hopefully you'll contact your local bike shop or club to have a Ride of Silence in your area. This years ride is fully supported by the League of American Bicyclists. Executive Director Andy Clarke and V. P. Preston Tyree will travel to Texas in May, to attend the Dallas Ride to bring as much national exposure as they can to the Share the Road program.
Thanks, and please consider holding or attending a Ride in your area,
markpedal
ps. if anyone would like information on how to start a Ride of Silence in your area, or would like to know the current Michigan locations, please email me at: [email protected]
