Spring is in the air and this is the time to ride. Sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists and supported by the Sierra Club, the month will feature more than 450 events across the nation, highlighting the popularity of bicycling and the need for bike-friendly transportation policies. However, a war over biking funding is being waged.
“It’s time for Congress to recognize the many benefits and rising popularity of cycling and stop shortchanging Americans who choose to travel by bike because it’s good for their health, saves them money and improves their community,” said Andy Clarke, president of the League of American Bicyclists.
