Liberty-focused biking events this Friday. www.bike-pgh.org *************************************************************************************************** Come celebrate as the League of American Bicyclists presents Mayor Luke Ravenstahl with the Bronze Bike-Friendly Community Award Come one, come all to hear the Mayor's ideas to "chart the course for further bike-friendly improvements" We've come a long way since 1990, when Bicycling Magazine ranked Pittsburgh one of the worst cities in the country in which to ride a bike. The League of American Bicyclists, one of the oldest bicycling organizations in the world, bases their awards on the "five E's," and ranks communities as either Honorable Mention, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The League of American Cyclists is coming to town to present Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and the Pittsburgh cycling community with our "Bronze" bike friendly community award. Wed, June 16 at noon Join the celebration of our Bronze Bike-Friendly Status with Mayor Luke Ravenstahl From the Mayor's office: "Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and community leaders invite you to save the date and celebrate this monumental designation as we chart the course for further bike-friendly improvements that will make our City even more livable." Please join us to show our broad support for a bike-friendly Pittsburgh as we move toward "Gold" and beyond! We need to show that this is important not only for Pittsburgh, but for Pittsburghers! Make sure to be there so that the next time the League visits, you can look back and see where we came from. * Where: City/County Building Portico, 414 Grant St., Pittsburgh, PA 15219 * When: 12:00 noon, Wed., June 16 www.bike-pgh.org
