Hello everyone,

 

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to vote in today's city election.  This election will help determine if bicycle licenses in Gainesville become mandatory, and whether the city will continue on it's path as a bicycle friendly city.

 

As Mr Hayes pointed out today in an earlier email, the article in this morning's Gainesville Sun ( http://www.gainesville.com/article/20140408/ARTICLES/140409657?tc=cr) suggests a scary future for bicycles in Gainesville.  Mandatory bicycle licensing will affect anyone who rides a bike, and is especially hard on those people who use a bicycle as an alternative to vehicular transportation, due to financial hardship.

 

The Gainesville Cycling Club has endorsed Helen Warren for City Commission.  It is imperative we get her onto the commission, in order to help keep the City of Gainesville on the right path.

 

Please take the time to vote today!

 

Regards,

 

Jayson O'Mahoney
