Bike bells ring, can you hear them?

Happy Holidays from Active Trans! We wish you, your family and your friends a warm holiday season and happy New Year. You saw us through some economic uncertainty and some tense moments down in Springfield. But cyclists, pedestrians and transit riders came out on top thanks to your support and contributions. Thank you for making 2009 a successful year!

Our office will be closed from Dec. 25 to Jan 2, but we can’t wait back to get in touch with you in the New Year.

Here’s a sneak preview of what 2010 holds: Legislation that requires drivers to stop for pedestrians, post-crash resources and improvements to your favorite Active Trans bike rides.

Oh, and the holiday shopping! Let us give you a hand. Visit our online store and check out the fabulous merchandise. We have T-shirts, jerseys, books and more!

Make your gift go the extra mile. Give your friends a year membership with the Active Transportation Alliance. Membership includes the Chicagoland Bicycle Map, discounts at more than 100 businesses (including bike shops!), discounts on our events like Bike the Drive, plus updates through Traffic Signals and ModeShift!
