Jun 16 '09 - 496 W, 1 I - Vote Good + 19 :: Bad - 18 C.I.C.L.E. Publishes “The Bicycle Lifestyle Guide”
Published June 16, 2009 by C.I.C.L.E.
C.I.C.L.E.'s newly published booklet, “The Bicycle Lifestyle Guide”, is a small, but weighty, full-color 30-page little guide that features nice-thick pages, eye-catching illustrations, great photos and an inspiring message. Thanks to REI, we were able to publish a nice share of these, but if you don't have a hot copy in your hands, you can get a "feel" for it online.
C.I.C.L.E.’s co-founder and Program Director, Shay Sanchez, has written and helped illustrate an inspired little gem that presents C.I.C.L.E.'s kindly message with snap and style. Its warm and inspiring tone makes it an easy read that never bores, drones or makes you feel like a schmuck for driving as much as you might. While it throws in a few notable hard facts, its direction keeps you encouraged and inspired and doesn't use guilt or shame tactics to spur you into action. Great design and illustration was key to creating a winning booklet, and we really hit the mark with designer Eric Cushing. Eric’s impeccable sense of design and clever sensibility really helped the booklet spring to life. Packed with great tips, an easy-does-it attitude, and lots of right-on-the money motivation, this simple, yet smartly woven, little guide is sure to get more people interested in the Bicycle Lifestyle.
And why not—when it sounds so fresh and fun to do?
While not meant to be the end-all on bike life, it's a great introduction that's sure to butter up the fence sitters and get them to jump-on-in to enjoy the warm waters of The Bicycle Lifestyle.
Get a copy while they last… They’ll be available at the next Urban Expeditions on Saturday, June 27 in Venice, CA.

I hope enough of these were printed to make it possible to hand out a few to our staff members and regular customers at REI. If not, I hope the turnout at the ride on June 27 is big!Christopher - June 23 '09 - 20:36

RE: this Saturday’s ride… It should be a great ride—great bike people, fresh ocean air, sand, and the Venice Eco-Fest which includes over 150 exhibitors, good food and a New Belgium Brewing Co. beer garden.
