April "Pink Moon" bicycle drive!

FIRSTLY >>>Some important info. Short, Dense and concise!

Vision Zero: No loss of life is acceptable.
Warm weather bring our kids on their bicycles and we, as adults, are encountering 

more bicycles. As a local bicycling advocate as well as an avid cyclist, I encourage

you to spend a few minutes and participate with your kids and/or grandchildren 

for all of us to learn and become safer bicyclists and motorists!

Help Design a Better Bike Rack
Annie F Adams is assisting Sr. Mechanical Engineering students at the 

University of Illinois (sponsored by Zappa Wheels) with the design for a 

better rack--for the back of your bike. They created a short, online survey

– Full Pink Moon – April This name came from the herb moss pink, or 

wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the 

spring. Other names for this month’s celestial body include the 

Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the 

Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn
