Last week a small group of community members and I got together at the Double Dog Saloon to discuss an uprising. The topic? Bringing some soul back to the Gucchi streets of Aspen. The movement? Riding your bike, cruiser, townie, uni, or other mode of pedaled transportation. The goal is to build some local community, encourage people to ride bikes rather than drive (Aspen has a horrendous traffic problem), and of course have fun.
We will meet for the first ride in April and a date is yet to be set. Hopefully over time the ride will grow enough to take up whole streets, slow traffic enough so that drivers will notice the riders, and a new tradition will be born. If you would like to participate please call or email so I can tell you a date. All you need is your bike, a smile, and a little velorution....
