500 bicycle lobbyists descend on D.C. (one from Tampa)
March 7th, 2008 by Alex Pickett in Blogroll, CL Events, Flashbacks & Updates
Remember Alan Snel?
He’s the bicycle enthusiast I profiled last August. Snel, a former Tampa Tribune reporter, is the director of the South West Florida Bicycle United Dealers (SWFBUD!).
This week, Snel was one of 500 bicycle activists attending the 2008 National Bike Summit in Washington D.C. to lobby Congress for pro-bicycle legislation. 500 bicycle lobbyists? That’s a lot of spandex!
Check out Snel’s report here.
Way to go, Alan. A good portion of Tampa Bay’s congestion problems could be solved if we used bikes, even if just for those small two-minute trips to grab a six-pack or lunch. St. Pete has already done a great job creating a bicycle-friendly city, but Tampa still has a long way to go.
What’s the biggest obstacle for bicyclists in Tampa?
