OUR MISSION We believe that the means of transportation we choose has a profound impact on the environment and our quality of life. Cycling and walking are good for the health of the individual, the community, and the planet.
WHAT WE DO Promote cycling and walking as means of transportation in western Nevada County through support, education, and advocacy.
... A connection point for bicycle commuters ... A source of information on safe cycling and cycling skills ... Organizers of workshops on various cycling issues ... A voice to communicate commuter cyclist and pedestrian needs to public agencies ... Committed to developing positive working relationships with public agencies and other local organizations with similar goals
WHY DO WE DO IT? A few reasons people become bicycle or pedestrian commuters: - Reduce dependence on fossil fuels - Get regular exercise - Slow down and enjoy life - Decrease air pollution - Build community - Spend less money on transportation - Have fun! Try walking your child to school or cycling to the store....it's easier than you think. Join us in celebrating the annual Bike-to-Work week in May: it's a great time to get started cycling! |
