Donate $10 today!
Our 2011 US Bicycle Routes fundraiser has ended, with $330 raised by Team Virginia. Thanks to Mark Blacknell, Matt Camp, Terry Dorn, Arman Esraghi, Daniel Widner, Marshal Lefleor & 3 anonymous donors. Over $30,000 was raised in total by Adventure Cycling Association, which will go a long way toward establishing official US Bicycle Routes. Read the campaign summary and press release.
During National Bike Month in May, the Virginia Bicycling Federation is helping the Adventure Cycling Association to raise money to support the creation of an official U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS). Recognition by AASHTO, federal and state governments, and having the routes numbered, signed, and mapped, would further legitimize bicycling, and help promote bicycle-oriented tourism. With 570 miles of Bike 76 in Virginia, as well as USBR 1, this is important for cyclists, and for our economy.
Right now, members of the Virginia Bicycling Federation are on our annual Cross-State Ride, to raise awareness of cyclists on our highways, to promote Bike 76 and USBR 1, and document any issues with signage and safety. We encourage anyone to ride along as we pass through your area. But if you can’t, you can still help by donating just $10, or more, to the cause. Please click this button…
…or use the widget at the top right of our website.
Even better, embed the widget in your own website! Then ask your bike club members and others to donate.
20% of proceeds will go to the Virginia Bicycling Federation, to help us continue our work as the coordinators of US Bicycle Routes in Virginia. We’re the ones who go out on the road to document issues with routing, signage, and safety; and work with Adventure Cycling and VDOT for improvement.
Any help you can give us is appreciated!
