This time of year we reflect on the things that make us feel gratitude. I\u2019m so grateful that for over two decades\u2014nearly three\u2014people all over Washington have supported our work on behalf of bicycling through\u00a0dues<\/a>,\u00a0donations<\/a>, and\u00a0Share the Road license plate purchases<\/a>. As a result\u00a0more kids are riding bikes, more streets have\u00a0bike facilities,<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0more towns promote bicycling\u00a0<\/strong>to improve health and quality of life for everyone while supporting Main-Street jobs.<\/p>\n

American stories about Thanksgiving reflect on history as well. In our earliest days we were the Northwest Bicycle Federation (NOW Bike), the Bicycle Federation of Washington joined us, then we became the Bicycle Alliance.<\/p>\n

Our programs have changed over the years along with our name, but our mission of growing bicycling statewide has never wavered. Our work has always had the same vision: A future in which\u00a0more and more of Washington bikes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And now Washington Bikes is our name as well as our goal<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0Advocacy organizations like ours around the country are choosing new names that tell you their reason for being as they outgrow names that simply label an organizational structure. We\u2019re making that same strong declaration of identity for the entire state of Washington.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Washington Bikes: The Jersey<\/h3>\n

\"Washington<\/a>Our new name just happens to look fantastic on the front of the\u00a0Castelli jerseys<\/a>\u00a0we now offer for purchase online.\u00a0Members receive a 10% discount on all purchases.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Non-members can join now to get the discount and pay their tax-deductible dues<\/strong> (with a special holiday rate) via the jersey order form, so send this page to your friends who appreciate what bicycling does for them, for your town, and for all of Washington.<\/p>\n

Made in Spokane, the women\u2019s and men\u2019s jerseys are available in either short-sleeve or long-sleeve versions. All proceeds benefit our work in advocacy, education, and community engagement around the state, and you\u2019ll be telling the world that\u00a0Washington Bikes<\/strong>\u00a0every time you wear yours.<\/p>\n

Shopping for a Cause: AmazonSmile<\/strong><\/h3>\n
