Dear friends,
Thanks for visiting my Moonlight Ramble Fundraising page!
On October 24th I will be participating in BikeHouston's Moonlight Bicycle Ramble. This is a nighttime bike ride benefiting BikeHouston and is their most important fundraiser of the year.
What is BikeHouston? BikeHouston is the local non-profit organization with the goal of making Houston a safer place for all people on bikes. They work with various entities including the City of Houston, management districts, bicycle groups, bike shops, neighborhood organizations, etc. to unite everyone on bikes, regardless of why or how they ride. Whether you are a recreational rider, do short neighborhood rides with your kids, or use your bike to commute, BikeHouston believes that everyone should have a safe place to ride their bikes.
Some of BikeHouston's recent accomplishments include:
- getting the city to embrace BikeHouston's Goal Zero Fatalities
- starting work on the Houston Bike Plan
- engaging City Council and Mayoral candidates
- expanding a city wide Vision Zero campaign to include all road users
By donating to my page you will be helping BikeHouston make our city a better, safer place to ride for everyone.
Thanks for your help!
BikeHouston is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization on a mission to transform our city by creating safe bikeways to improve the quality of life of all Houstonians. We do this through partnering with the City and other organizations to expand the mileage and access to high-quality bike lanes and trails, to educate all road users, and to enhance enforcement of the laws that save lives.
- Our advocacy work focuses on ensuring that bicyclists’ needs are included in government work from planning to construction to law enforcement. We use the power of our members to drive change.
- Our community education programs teach motorists about cyclists’ rights and cyclists about their rights and responsibilities. We also host events designed to empower everyone to start riding a bike.Who We Are
