When i found out that i had the ability to appoint someone to this committee, you were the first person that i thought of because of your activity in the district and evenbacker everything that you do centers around the Bicycle Community, and so having someone whos so involved in not only riding a bicycle but also doing the kind of things that youve done to really change the culture of how we treat the Bicycle Community and how we look at it as a Public Safety issue more so than anything else is really important, talking about having conversations about bicyclists about being responsible, the wiggle Appreciation Day and showing respect for the transportation modes of the Bicycle Community and just really celebrating being a bicycle rider in San Francisco is something that you have done and i think its really important as someone who went to a school, uc davis, that was all about bicycles, i mean, to walk into
