| FRIENDS FOR BIKECOLOGY 1971 Santa Barbara, CA |
|---|
This is a 12-page booklet published in 1971 by Friends For Bikecology, an advocacy group located in Santa Barbara, CA. The symbol (logo) for the organization is designed to symbolize the meaning of BIKECOLOGY; ECOLOGY THROUGH BICYCLING. See the logo on pages 11 & 12.
Paraphrasing from page-3: Saturday, May 8, 1971 - Bikecology Day
This day is the beginning! On May 8, 1971, our goal is to focus the nation`s attention on the importance of bicycling as a practical mode of transportation, to promote a greater awareness of bicycling as an aid in alleviating environmental problems and to develop a program of action that counters these problems. The movement would benefit all major cities in the nation.
The dimensions are 8 1/2 x 11 inches. This image is of the front cover, see the picture gallery. [Item# CA_Bikecology] |

| Gravity Cycles-A bike sharing solution! (see the picture gallery) |
|---|
| This is not really an advocacy organization but their business does assist & encourage people to use bicycles instead of automobiles for short distances; they make it very convenient in the locations where they provide service. The concept is to provide easy to use bicycles in a rack at convenient locations. You use your credit card or cell phone to `rent` a bike and drop it off at any of their rack locations. I have not personally experienced their service; I hope it is good! Visit their website for details; www.gravity-cycles.com. PS: This website does not have any other category where this business fits. [Item# CO_Gravity Cycles] | |

Go to www.roadbikerider.com. The newsletter mentioned another web site, http://www.gringear.com (also interesting for bicyclists) where I found the link and downloaded this letter. Both of the aforementioned web sites are providing a FREE good service to bicyclists. [Item# Share The Road.a] | |
