Rollin with the Gov'nah on Bike to Work Day

This morning started out early as Kim and I had to meet up with one of the many groups of cyclists that were riding to Monroe Park and meeting up with Richmond City Mayor Dwight C. Jones and Virginia Governor Tim Kaine. The groups were then led downtown to the Capital by the Mayor and Governer.

Many of the 'movers and shakers' in Virginia cycling advocacy were present. Most importantly, my wife Kim was representing Bike Walk Virginia, a non-profit organization committed to the promotion of non-motorized transportation.

Here she is. Mrs. Bike Walk Virginia.



Here is another one. He's one awesome biker. The 'Gov' himself.

I was returning my State car to the office when the group rode up Franklin--wish I was a part of it! But i'm off from work today :))

That's pretty cool. I'm glad to see political figures actually giving recognition to cyclists and bikes as an alternative form of transportation. America needs to get over it's love affair with the automobile!
