We Need You -- To Help Us Build the USBRS!

Around the office some of the staff have been working on videos about why the U.S. Bicycle Route System is an important project. Check out this video made by Development Director Amanda Lipsey and Media Director Winona Bateman.
If this inspires you to make a video of your own, consider joining us as a core supporter. We can get some sample text for you and show you how you can help us spread the word. You might even win a BOB Trailer for your efforts!

Want to help us out today? If you donate $25 or more right now to help us build the U.S. Bicycle Route System you can win an awesome B17 saddle from our sponsors at Brooks.

It is not the name of Brooks which makes the Saddle good, but the Saddle and its excellence which makes the name supreme. ? the Brooks book for cyclists, 1912

Also this week you can help us meet the $2,500 challenge offered by TeamEstrogen.com. We still have $2,215 to raise before the end of the week!
