Thanks for visiting my Moonlight Ramble Fundraising page!
On October 24th I will be participating in BikeHouston's Moonlight Bicycle Ramble. This is a family friendly nighttime bike ride benefiting BikeHouston and is their most important fundraiser of the year. ( More information about the ride can be found by clicking on or copying and pasting this link: https://bikehouston.org/calendar/#!event/2015/10/25/43rd-annual-bikehouston-moonlight-ramble )
What is BikeHouston? BikeHouston is a local non-profit organization with the goal of making Houston a safer place for all people on bikes. I am honored to serve as a member of BikeHouston's Board of Directors. BikeHouston works 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.
I ride for fitness and leisure and my family and I benefit greatly from all the work done by BikeHouston, its members, and volunteers.
Some of BikeHouston's recent accomplishments include:
- getting the city to embrace BikeHouston's Goal Zero Fatalities
- starting work on the revised and improved Houston Bike Plan
- engaging City Council and Mayoral candidates on issues related to bike safety and mobility
- 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 and your support!
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
We are the only non-profit bicycle advocacy group in Houston. We started as an all-volunteer non-profit in 2004. In 2014 we transitioned to be professionally staffed and are positioned to continue growing in order to transform Houston into a bikeable city. Thanks to our members, donors, and sponsors, we now have high caliber staff and board that are progressing biking in Houston faster than ever before.
