Congress to Decide Fate of Bike Funding: Congress is currently debating the massive transportation bill, which includes funding for bicycling and pedestrian facilities. Indications are that these programs could be entirely gutted. Our Senator is on the committee that can stop this.  Take Action Now! Please take a minute before Monday and call Senator Menendez's office in support of dedicated funding for bicycling and walking programs. Leave a message if you don't reach a staffer — Monday close of business will be too late! Below is an easy script. Senator Robert Menendez: 202.224.4744 Hello! I am (Name, Address, City). I am calling to ask for Senator Menendez's support of dedicated funding for bicycling and walking in the transportation reauthorization.  Thank you, in advance, for supporting cycling!!

Awesome group rides!

If you haven't had a chance to join us recently, or at all, we have group rides for lots of different ability levels. We have paid ride leaders for these events and they are dedicated to providing the safest, most fun, and educational riding experience you can find in our area. As a matter of fact, I have had quite a few people tell me that they have been on group rides all over and ours is the one they find to be the friendliest and most well run. (Toot toot- that was me tooting my own horn, but I digress) So if you find yourself looking for some fun on two wheels, join us for a loop. We have rides on Monday (6p), Thursday (6p) and Saturday (8a) for intermediate to advanced riders and Tuesday (6p) for beginner road riders. We also run holiday rides! Sign up for our email list at actionwheels.com to stay on top of all the local cycling happenings. See you soon!
