Join Sue's Helpers
You can the change the world…
But we recommend you start
small. Joining Sue's Helpers will not only get you off the couch, but it will
make you feel better too! (And, as an added bonus, you're improving NYC
cycling at the same time.)
Here are just a few ways to
help out, but we've got more. Just call Susan at the T.A. office
(212-629-8080) today. Special thanks to everyone who's gotten involved so far.
We're making serious progress.
Good Will Ambassadors
Join T.A. and the men and women of the NYPD Manhattan Traffic Task Force Bike
Patrol as we fire up the Give Respect / Get Respect campaign in '99. Elucidate
and educate with a smile... and perhaps delight in watching lane-blocking
motorists get real tickets (we civilians will be handing out fake ones). To
wayward cyclists we'll distribute trilingual educational flyers. For upcoming
dates, check the web or call Susan at T.A. for details (212-629-8080).
Eradicate Perils
The Hazard ID team is gearing up for another session of inventorying roadway
defects - everything from sewer grates that snare your wheel to your basic
bike-eating pothole. We'll meet Saturday, March 13 at 9:30 am at the
intersection of 14th Street and Broadway (Southeast corner, by the Virgin
Megastore) and travel up 1st Avenue to 42nd Street.
Two Wheels to Fun
Get involved in the coolest week of the year - Bike Week 1999! It's the last
Bike Week of the millennium - don't miss out on the fun. Lead a commuter ride,
stopping at a Krispy Kreme doughnut laden breakfast on the way - or, serve up
doughnuts and helpful T.A. materials at a breakfast with your favorite Borough
President. The possibilities are endless - call Susan or Ruth at the T.A.
office (212-629-8080).
