Please contact your Senator on the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) , and ask her to support Congressman Blumenauer's National Bike Bill (HR305),  http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/C?c110:./temp/~c110Od6je5 legislation that will help make our country a better place to ride a bicycle. 

Take Action!
 
House Congressional Resolution 305 (H.CON.RES. 305), dubbed the National Bike Bill sponsored by Representative Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), which passed the House of Representatives on May 21, 2008, is scheduled to be considered by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, this Thursday, July 31, 2008, at 10am. Please take a moment to contact your Senator on the Committee to thank them in advance for their support of this resolution which recognizes the importance of bicycling in transportation and recreation.
