According to an article in the June 10th American Bicyclist Update, "Mayor Chris Koos, of Normal, IL, has introduced a resolution making the case that bicycling should be integrated into our nation's transportation, climate, energy and health policy initiatives, for consideration and adoption at this year's U.S. Conference of Mayors Annual meeting, June 20-24 in Miami.

"The resolution is similar to the Congressional Resolution recently passed by the House of Representatives and the following Mayors have agreed to be co-sponsors; John Hickenlooper, Denver, CO, John Marchione, Redmond, WA; Marty Blum, Santa Barbara, CA; R.T. Rybak, Minneapolis, MN; Jim Brainard, Carmel, IN; Al Larson, Schaumberg, IL; Ron Littlefield, Chattanooga, TN; and Joe Riley, Charleston, SC.

"Please take a moment to click here (http://tinyurl.com/5dacft) to see if your Mayor is registered to attend the annual meeting, if so, please contact them and urge them to sign onto and support the resolution."
