We will also be flyering for the Cycle Swap the following weekend, with a focus on promoting workshops that can help people drive less and bike more. </font></div>

The more people who RSVP, the more likely that others will want to come. Our goal is at least 50 riders. We have had big turn outs in the past--let's get back into the saddle!
