I only wish I could be at one of these inspiring summits. Was pleased to learn that D.C. has a bikeshare program. It works extremely well for me in Marseille, France, where I spend half the year. Am hoping it comes to Boston for my other half of the year. However, I was surprised to see so many riders at the Summit without helmets, surprised they were not required.

Even though I failed to make any of the motion pictures, great ride, great summit.

Thank you to the LEAGUE for having the bike ride in tribute to Gabby and all the other victims of the January 8th tragedy. Amongst her many accomplishments, Gabby is a cyclist, and a supporter of many of our local Tucson events and causes. Gabe Zimmerman, one of Gabby's staff members, was a cyclist who rode in El Tour de Tucson. We'll miss Gabe - and we're directing all of our energies toward Gabby to being on her bicycle again and serves an inspiration to all of us. Thanks to all of you for allowing us to be part of you and for you being part of us.

Thanks to everyone that represented the interest of cyclists and hopefully many more future cyclists that will take cycling up as a everyday means of transportation due to your efforts in our nation. Wish I could have made this trip, but maybe I'll make it in the future. Bike helmets are smart! Smart is the new cool! Pass it on.
