A few fellow cycling advocacy friends and I set-up a booth today at the National Security Agency's 5th Annual Armed Forces and National Police Celebration at the National Cryptologic Museum.
We spoke to ~200 people that ride bikes, want to ride bikes and used to ride bikes. We had a good time sharing the word - The Way of the Bike
:)
One thing that we noticed was people were reluctant to identify themselves as a cyclist. As in 'Well, I'm not a cyclist because I only ride a few times a year' or 'I'm not a cyclist because I don't ride far.'
So if you ride a bike, you are a cyclist. Cyclists are people on bikes. Embrace it.
Come to the Dark Side - We Have Wheels!
