November's Bike Month

Whew! 2010 seems so long ago, already! How does the time fly by so fast? I honestly cannot say. I can, however, tell you how the people manage to travel so quickly… They’re riding their bikes! That’s how! J I am especially thankful and proud to announce that D.R.E.E.M. Reality’s November Bike Month for 2010 was a rousing success. Fellow director Ashley and I started a FacebookTMevent in order to get the word out. We were extremely excited, as this was one of our first official acts as D.R. directors. Thankfully, it took off even more than either one of us were expecting. So many great people jumped on the chance to trade their four wheels for two. Friends told friends who told more and more friends. In no time, the majority of our posts were from complete strangers! Hooray for networking!

Please feel free to visit D.R.E.E.M. Reality’s FacebookTM page and look for “Bike Month” to see how we did. While you are there, check for upcoming events and opportunities to make a difference. Participants have posted comments, kept track of their mileage, and even posted pictures of some of their bicycling adventures! We had so many participants it was impossible to name a winner. On second thought, there was one clear winner: our mother Earth! She is likely the most thankful for the positive impact that so many bikers made to help her. J

Special thanks to everyone who pedaled their way through November, those who pedal their way through life, and those who will choose to pedal more in the future. Biking is not only a wonderfully fun and effective way to commute, but it is also a great way to exercise and have a great time doing it. Remember, every month can be bike month. So, drop those keys, grab a bike, and pick up the pace!

Love and Light,

Always on the look out for projects to evolve our selves, the organization, the world, and the universe we have proudly joined IBikeFresno.org in their "Million Mile Challenge" for May - bike month!

Not only do we make a significant effort to ride our bikes - to the store, to work, to the park, etc. We also just made a 150 mile bike ride from Fresno to Santa Cruz! It took us 4 days and 3 nights and we went up over Pacheco and Hecker Pass along Hwy 152. What an amazing adventure and trial of heart, body, and soul!

So...

The Fresno County Bicycle Coalition, together with the City of Fresno, have joined forces to enact the Bicycle Master Plan (BMP) to make the city a more bike-friendly community. IBikeFresno.org is the resource center for cyclist to find out about community biking activities, convenient routes, business contacts, and of course to bring everyone together for health and environmental awareness.

May's Million Mile Challenge intends " to log a million collective miles in the month of May and we need your help.We don’t really care why you ride, we just want you to get out there and pedal. Commute to work. Run an errand. Take the family to the park. Train for a race. Run the dog. Cruise around town. Every time you take a bike ride, come back to I Bike Fresno and log your miles. By using the green colored box on the right you can set up an account and start logging those miles starting from May 1^st."

We openly invite and encourage all of our Directors, friends, family, and fellow Fresno-ians to join IBikeFresno.org's Million Mile Challenge. When you sign up, make sure to join the D.r.e.e.m. Reality Team!

Get out there and bike for your, mine, and the world's health!

But let's keep going after May!
