Activetrans and Big Bucks

 From Chief Strategy Officer Randy Neufeld

Bring your friends to Bike Town Bash!

From our member, J. Alex Sanger:

"If you bike in the city of Chicago, chances are that you have pulled up a chair to a table, set your helmet down, and told a friend about the right hook that almost got you or the cars double parked in the bike lane. As coffee (or other beverages) are poured in front of you, you share the joys, fun, and, well, sometimes frustration of bicycling in this great city of ours. How about trading in that silk underwear for a silk dress? Those wool long underwear for the nice trousers in the back of your closet? See how fishnets can work with bike shoes, grab your bike, and meet your friends at the Bike Town Bash.

We are listening

Thanks to all our members who have offered their support, questions and concerns. Your spirited response shows that our membership is active and engaged. I want to let you know that we are listening. Please feel free to call or e-mail me (rob@activetrans.org or 312.427.3325 x228).

You can learn more about this change http://activetrans.org/our-new-name/faq. If you missed the meeting or want to learn more, this is the place.

I want to address a couple of concerns that we’re hearing.
