Tweet your Congress members to Save Cycling TODAY!
 As you may have heard (ok, definitely heard!) in our many updates, the League is currently hosting the 2012 National Bike Summit in Washington, DC.

 
Maybe you're here in DC with us. Maybe you weren't able to make it - but you still want to be involved. Either way, make sure Congress hears bicyclists' voices loud and clear today.

If you're here at the Summit, we appreciate the time and energy you're putting into Lobby Day today. For those of you at home, we want to make sure you're in on the fun. Tweet your representatives and let them know that, just because you can't be in Washington, doesn't mean you don't care about bicycling.

Find your elected officials' Twitter handle at www.tweetcongress.org, and tell them that you bike and you vote!

Here are some sample tweets you can use:

Hey [@RepresentativeX]: #ibikeivote, Support a clean extension of the transpo bill and Petri amend #nbs12
 
Hey [@SenatorX]: #ibikeivote, Pls support clean extension of the transportation bill #nbs12
 
Hey [@RepresentativeX]: Remember the freedom of ur first #bike? Support bike funding in the #transportation bill! #ibikeivote #nbs12
 
It may feel like one tweet to you, but it makes a big difference. Thank you for your help to Save Cycling!  Three Easy Steps to Save Cycling!

Step 1: Find the Twitter handles for your members of Congress at www.tweetcongress.org

 
Step 2: Use the sample tweets to tell your Representatives and Senators that you bike and you VOTE!

Step 3: Send a resounding message to Congress to preserve dedicated funding for biking and walking in the next federal transportation bill
