Next week we will be announcing the ride across the USA  two people will be doing beginning in August that will be turning heads and causing cameras to flash  everywhere they go. Toward that end we are making  theirs the first publicly witnessed  ride on the National Bicycle Greenway route at BikeRoute.com.  Expect a news release next week that will generate a firestorm of electricity all over the Internet.

Here in Davis, CA through where this ride will pass, we are hoping Car-Free mayor Robb Davis will receive them at the US Bicycle Hall of Fame  with. a proclamation that recognizes the fact that they have made Davis a part of the exciting history these two soon will be writing.

There is also the possibility that Huck Vaughn part of the crew that produced Sinead Santich’s remarkable video about the bicycle way of life in which I was honored to be a part, will want to find a way to create film that honors the build up, actual events and/or the significance of this truly amazing journey. .

Before I rode the May 27 Bike Party Davis,  I had an awesome meeting with the soon to be official Mayor of Davis, car-free, real bullets cyclist Robb Davis. We spent an hour talking about the National Bicycle Greenway. And Robb totally gets it! He understands why our 20 NBG Anchor Cities are so important to making the NBG real. We even agreed that there is certain kind of high that you get when you ride through a big city with someone who knows the way; that you get a buzz from doing so!!

We just added Bicycle Man, Peter Stull’s recumbent history museum to  the History of the Modern Day Recumbent show we now have on line.

Our First Tour de Davis happens on Saturday June 25.  We invite you to come see what the Bike Capital of America and home of the first bike lane in the USA looks like from a bicycle seat. Our non-athletic, casual 12-mile tour takes place in the cool of a Saturday morning.

If you are coming from out of the area, the three-star Hallmark Inn, which has long been the accommodation center for Davis Double riders, is offering National Bicycle Greenway riders discounted room nights! If you pedal Bike Party Davis (a separate event) the previous evening, you can use this lodging opportunity to see what the darkness hid from you as you see Davis in the light of day!

Our ride ends at Hot Italian Pizza Bar – a  huge sponsor of Davis cycling!!

News also coming soon about the National Bicycle Greenway Fund Raiser we are staging for October that will honor the ride we talked about to open this and include a Silent Art Auction, Raffle, Live Music,  Vendor Booths and other fun!!
