of all forms of cycling. I've commuted by bike both in Bozeman and in Minneapolis for the past several years and get around town primarily by bicycle. I'm interested in encouraging more
Bozemanites to ride their bikes around town, especially for those shorter trips. I think the bicycle is a fantastic way to experience Bozeman and envision a future of healthier residents,
less pollution, lower dependence on fossil fuels, and more economical transportation. Also, I believe that a bicycle friendly city is great for small businesses, especially in a town
like Bozeman with our terrific Main St. corridor. Please list a reference and a contact phone or email: Sam Haraldson, samh@samh.net List a 2nd reference with contact phone or email:
