Tucson Bike Week

Hey Everybody,

Here's a link to my media article from Monday. It wasn't the best choice, but I googled environmental health bicycling and this was the first news article, so I grabbed it. Every year, the bicycling community in Tucson, AZ enjoys a bike week which encourages commuters to bike to and from work everyday to support the idea of biking as a viable alternative to motorized transport. Apparently Tucson has a thriving bike community, so it's typically a successful event. However, for some reason this year the number of bike commuters during bike week was down. Some commenters suggested that the weather was bad, hence a lack of participation. I hope this was the cause. It sounds like Tucson is a model city for communities to emulate when trying to establish themselves as bike-friendly.
