Ride Your Bike to Washington, D.C.

This post is by Sheryl Canter, an online writer and editorial manager at Environmental Defense Fund.

Got a bike? Got strong thighs? Want to tell Washington what you think about climate change?

Sign up for Climate Ride 2008, a 5-day, 320-mile bike ride from New York City to Washington, D.C. on September 20-24. Expert speakers will educate riders along the way about solutions to climate change. The ride will conclude with a celebration near the steps of the Capitol building. The organizers call it “a fundraiser and climate conference on wheels.”
