A Worthy Idea

This may cut into my Tuesday Night Drifting Club, but I'll give it a shot.

Pulled this off the SEED email.


Dear Family and Friends,

My son, Will (age 8) and I would like to invite all of you to
participate in what we hope will become a tradition here and perhaps
your town. Starting next Tuesday, April 29th and every Tuesday thru
the summer until October, we will be trying to use bikes instead of
cars for the whole day! Here in Newburyport, we have a unique
opportunity because of the pedestrian scale of the city to reduce our
dependence on oil, improve our health, and have some fun! We will be
biking to and from school and we hope all members of our community
will consider biking instead of driving each Tuesday. If that isn't
feasible, please help by being aware of what we hope will be an
increased amount of bike traffic and exercise extra caution.

Please help us by passing on this message to your friends and we hope
to see you out on the roads!

Happy Earth Day!
Thank you,
Andrew M. Sidford, AIA, LEED AP

Ps. In the event of bad weather, we will bike on Wednesday that week.


I just need to fix my front tire.

Great Idea!

Now Tom, bring your bike to Riverside Cycles for a tune-up so we can plump up the maintenance fund for the Rail Trail! Spring for new handlebar streamers while you are at it.
