Support my Tour de Streets team!

As you are all aware, I love to get around by bike and it’s not just because of the exercise and free parking. The awesome thing about biking, walking and transit to get around town is that you bump into people. You chat on the train, stop on the corner, catch up or decide to grab a coffee or beer. In essence, I love to bike because it makes me feel more connected to this place and to a community.

It's also necessary for the health of our region and economy. Our streets our packed and we need to find better ways to move people around. We need children to be able to safely walk and bike to schools, elderly to have mobility options and commuters to not waste time sitting in traffic jams.

I'm on the board of LivableStreets because I'm passionate about our mission and confident in the work we do. We have shown great effectiveness and success over our 10+ year existence and your help makes all of this possible. Please join my team for this fun event and party or consider contributing in any amount you are able.

Thank you!
