On the Local Level

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I just wanted to tell everybody about what we're doing here in
Missoula, Montana to encourage local bicycle and pedestrian
participation. Two websites that have made a hit here are the sites
for Bike Walk Bus Week Missoula, http://www.bikewalkbusmissoula.org
and the Way to Go! Club, http://www.waytogoclub.com

Bike Walk Bus Missoula is prepared to deliver a vast schedule to the
thousands of potential viewers. Events from the Festival of Cycles, to
the Rails to Trails Conservancy presentation will entertain and get
people thinking more about alternative transportation options.

The Way to Go! Club has been mentioned here before, but that was two
years ago, and a lot fewer members. Now the program has 2,571 members
that have logged 1,873,042 miles in two years. It is a fun and smart
way to encourage a local community to participate.

I'm sure these programs could be shared and built upon to work almost
anywhere.
