Sedona bicycle advocacy...The Verde Valley Cyclists Coalition was founded in the Spring of 2003 by a couple of riders who wanted to give the cyclists of Sedona, Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Cornville, Camp Verde, Rimrock, Jerome, the Village of Oak Creek... okay, the whole Verde Valley, a voice. We wanted to improve the infrastructure for bicyclists, to educate cyclists and motorists, to start fun rides, have good times, in short, to do all of the things that great bike clubs do! Our members include roadies and mountain bikers, BMXers, singlespeeders, and
even a few motorists! We encourage you to check out our site: www.vvcc.us, and
if the answers aren't there, give us a call at 928-301-1190. Believing in the goodness of the bike is simple for us at Absolute Bikes, we find ourselves surrounded by them daily. We ride our bikes to work, we ride our bikes for fun, we work on bikes so that you will love your bike once again, and, of course, we sell bikes to put food on the table. We, like you perhaps, are true believers in the nobility of the bike. But a wise person once advised true believers everywhere, regardless of their creed, to "put your money where your mouth is," a statement that gets to the heart of advocacy. To advocate means to stand up and speak out about an issue you believe in and, as we have noted above, we believe in the inherent goodness and practicality of bikes. Therefore, many of us at Absolute Bikes advocate for bikes on a regular basis as members of the Flagstaff Bicycle Advisory Committee, as volunteers on USFS-sponsored trail workdays, and by promoting youth bicycle safety programs such as SAFE KIDS, as well as a host of other bike-consciousness-raising events throughout the year. |
