Senate Bill 265

Dear Wicsonsin IMBA Member, IMBA and the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin have an important request. We have an excellent opportunity to improve Wisconsin's non-motorized trail system but we can't do it without your voice and support. Please support Senate Bill 265 which creates a new $10 million funding source (or 1% of state motor fuel taxes) for maintenance of non-motorized trails. Without strong and immediate public support, this bill will likely die in committee. Take Action! Attend the public hearing and voice your support of these three bills, especially SB 265, and/or contact the Senate Committee members listed below. Two other bills are also being considered that will positively impact the Wisconsin bike experience: SB 266 and SB 264. See below for more information on all three Senate Bills. What - Public hearing before the Senate Committee on Transportation, Tourism, Forestry and Natural Resources When -10:00am, Thursday, September 17th Where - Wisconsin State Capitol, Room 300 SE Contact these State Senators to voice your support for SB 264, SB 265 and SB 266: Senator Jim Holperin (Chair) Sen.Holperin@legis.wisconsin.gov , ph: (608) 266-2509 Senator Glenn Grothman - Sen.Grothman@legis.wisconsin.gov , ph: (608) 266-7513 Senator Neil Kedzie - Sen.Kedzie@legis.wisconsin.gov , ph: (608) 266-2635 Senator Joseph Leibham - Sen.Leibham@legis.wisconsin.gov , ph: (608) 266-2056 Senator David Hansen - Sen.Hansen@legis.wisconsin.gov , ph: (608) 266- 5670 Senator Jeffrey Plale - Sen.Plale@legis.wisconsin.gov , ph: (608) 266 7505 Senator Jim Sullivan - Sen.Sullivan@legis.wisconsin.gov , ph: (608) 266-2512 Senate Bill 265 Funding for Non-motorized Trail Maintenance Senate Bill 265 would create a much needed funding source for the maintenance of Wisconsin's non-motorized trails. The bill would allocate $10 million or 1 percent of state motor fuel taxes, whichever is less, to be spent on the maintenance of non-motorized trails. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources would administer the program in manner similar to existing programs that support motorized trails. This bill would grant local nonprofits and governments money to maintain existing non-motorized trails. The bill was supported by the Special Committee on Enhancing Recreational Trails for Non-motorized Use, and it has received support from the horseback riding community and the Bike Fed. A strong public show of support is needed for this bill to have a chance at passing. For the full text of this bill click here.(PDF file) Senate Bill 266 Non-motorized Recreation and Transportation Council Senate Bill 266 would create a council dedicated to non-motorized recreation and transportation. This bill is predicted to pass, and is worthy of your support. For the full text of this bill click here. (PDF file) Senate Bill 264 Trespassing Penalties for off-road motor vehicles Senate Bill 264 aims to discourage trespassing of off-road motorized vehicles on non-motorized trails and properties. This bill is also likely to pass, and is worthy of your support. For the full text of the bill click here. (PDF file)

Chain Reaction fall Woolies!!

Hi Everyone! So it's that time of the year again and the weather is beginning to cool down, well, okay, atleast it was a few weeks ago.... Anyhow, I'm placing another wool jersey order in a few days (the morning of Friday, Sept 18th), to have it by the end of October. So if anyone would like to get in on this order please let me know! If you'd like to see what color there are to choose from please go to: www.ewnr.com The jersies will be layed out the same as last year, available in both mens & ladies, and go for the same price of $120. As a reminder, these are made out of a nice tight knit Merino wool, and wash up just beautifully, and look great on and off the bike!! They would even make a great Christmas gift for you favorite cyclist?!?! So if anyone has any questions please send me an e-mail, or call me at the shop!
Cheers!-Niki
