Support Provincial Investment in Cycling

Please pass this message on to your cycling friends.

The BCCC has sent the Provincial Government, Realizing the Benefits of Accelerated Investment in Cycling, a document recommending dramatically increased funding for cycling facilities, education, promotion and maintenance that would make cycling safer for people of all ages and abilities in communities across British Columbia.

Please send a message to Minister Bond at the address below indicating your support for the BCCC cycling investment recommendations, "Realizing the Benefits of Accelerated Investment in Cycling" and in particular the four year investment of $175 million dollars per year totalling $700 million to fund bicycle paths, separated bike lanes and other high quality cycling facilities in communities and on provincial roads throughout BC.

The message can be as short or as long as you want. The most important thing is to let them know that investing in cycling is important.

Your message could include some or all of the following:
- The mention any of the other recommendations that are important to your or your community.
- What these recommendations and improved cycling would mean for you, your family and your community
- Specific cycling facilities you would like to see built
- Stories on what new cycling facilities have meant to you and your community
- Stories about impact of the lack of cycling facilities in your community
