CONGRATULATIONS NINJA CAT MARY – SOUTHBAY CRUISER OF THE WEEK!
Well I know that she’s been cruiser of the week before, but I think after the awesome ride that she led on Sunday, January 4th – ‘A Ride to Old Town Torrance II’ that she deserves it again. We had a nice little crowd of 17 people showed up to Wilson Park. Ninja Cat Mary led us around Old Town on a picture perfect Sunday morning as we crossed railroad tracks, skipped a little rope in a park, and of course chowed down some Foster’s Freeze ice cream.(Pics will be up soon on www.southbaycruisers.com) Thanks for leading us Ninja Cat Mary! (See Mary in her 15 minutes of fame on the homepage of www.southbaycruisers.com)

OTHER INTERESTING INFO…
(This Item I found on this week’s LA Bike Coalition Newsletter)
Time to Act! We need your help with the Economic Recovery Bill
LACBC has been submitted Ready to Go bike projects to Tunderhead Alliance and Transportation for America last month. Now it’s time that Our elected officails here from you.
In January Congress and the President will sign an economic recovery bill that will include hundreds of billions of dollars, many of which will go to build transportation infrastructure, but very few of which include bicycle and pedestrian projects.
It is critical that we ensure that bicycle and pedestrian projects are included among the projects to be funded with federal economic stimulus funds.
TELL YOUR MAYOR AND GOVERNORTO INCLUDE BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PROJECTS IN THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY BILL
Tell Them:
· There are over $2 billion worth of “ready-to-go” bicycle and pedestrian projects across the U.S. that can create jobs right now.
· Bike and pedestrian projects are quick. Because they are smaller, states and cities can spend the money quickly and IN the local economy.
· Building biking and walking infrastructure creates jobs. Bike and pedestrian infrastructure is more labor intensive and less material intensive than building roads, thus netting more jobs for dollars spent!
· Sidewalks and bike lanes makes streets and downtowns into destinations for shopping and entertainment. Investing in walking and biking facilities helps local business and is an investment in the local economy.
· 24% of all trips in the US are less than a mile, 40% are less than two miles. Walking and biking facilities, including those that connect to transit, give American families economical transportation options and lay the foundation to address some of our nation’s major crises, such as climate, energy, and health.
· A recovery package that includes funding for transportation infrastructure but does not include investments to improve bicycling and walking denies the current trends in transportation and the safety needs of the American public. Bicycling has increased in the US – in some cities its increased more than 35% in the last two years.
· Biking and pedestrian improvements also help wean us for foreign oil and support a healthy and sustainable future for America!
LACBC is an official sponsor of Go Green Expo in Los Angeels and will be providing Bike Valet.
Go Green Expo is a truly unique event from the ground up. Go Green Expo will change not only the public’s perception of environmentalism but also how events like this are produced and managed.
Get hands on experiences with “eco-friendly” alternatives to current everyday products and services.
