Green Bike Tour This Weekend

Kristi Lohmeier here from the Iowa Policy Project and as the lead
organizer for our Green Bike Tour 2007 I come to you with a small
favor that could help make the Tour a huge SUCCESS!

As you know, we do not charge folks ANYTHING to ride in the Green Bike
Tour. We are committed to using this event as a purely
awareness/informational/educational piece, and to that end use our own
monies to get it done. However, we have found a hole in our resources
in the form of transportation. We have a number of folks from the
Johnson, Linn, Cedar county areas who are interested in participating
in the Tour, but have no way to get themselves plus their bikes up to
the Cedar Falls area. That is where you come in!

I know that there are a number of bike teams in our area, and I am
looking for some problem solvers to allow us to use any of the
following to help transport riders: trailers, trucks, or buses (that
can take passengers and bikes). If you or someone you know can help
with ANY ASPECT of this request, I would really appreciate it!

In the past, the Green Bike Tour has been used as a vehicle to raise
awareness on global warming and other environmental issues. This
year, we are using the tour to highlight the amazing fantastic work
going on in the Cedar Falls/Waverly/ Waterloo
area around renewable
energy and energy efficiency.

Help us make this event successful not only by participating but also
by helping to get more folks to participate who wouldn't normally have
the access or resources to do so!  Also
if you could tell me if you are interested in participating, we can start to
get a tally from the area!

hearing from you and THANK YOU in advance for all you do!
