The letter including representation from all 50 states and was delivered, by bicycle, on May 28 to Secretary LaHood.

Support the USBRS

The South Dakota Bicycle Coalition supports the creation of a national network of bicycle routes – the U.S. Bicycle Route Systems. We also support Adventure Cycling Association’s fundraising efforts to connect cyclists across the U.S. through the USBRS.

During May – which is also National Bike Month – a campaign is underway to raise funds to support the project.

Donate $10 today to support the creation of a national network of bicycle routes: the U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS), a visionary project that will be similar to the national and international systems blossoming across the globe, such as Euro Vélo.

The routes will connect cyclists across the U.S. with cities, transportation hubs, scenic and historic destinations through existing (and new) infrastructure; routes will be numbered and officially recognized by state and federal government agencies. Your donation is tax deductible.

Learn more about the U.S. Bicycle Route System and donate $10 today on its Change.org page (no login required): http://www.adventurecycling.org/usbrsdonate
