Such skills include data base management, graphic arts, copy writing, website management, and desktop publishing.  If you are interested in helping in this manner, contact jennifer@nybc.net.

Actively Advocate for bicycling in your community

Look around and decide if your locality needs more bike lanes, trails, racks and other things that make bicycling easier. Approach your local government and request them. Also approach businesses to provide racks for customers and commuting employees. Ask merchants to institute a Bicycle Benefits Program which give discounts to cyclist customers. Urge your School District to participate in (and get State funds for) a local Safe Routes to School program for delineating routes (and upgrading their safety) so students may walk or bike to school. Organize a local bicycling event as part of a larger community celebration.
