Barack Obama's environmental policy states:

"As president, Barack Obama will re-evaluate the transportation funding process to ensure that smart growth considerations are taken into account. Obama will build upon his efforts in the Senate to ensure that more Metropolitan Planning Organizations create policies to incentivize greater bicycle and pedestrian usage of roads and sidewalks, and he will also re-commit federal resources to public mass transportation projects across the country. Building more livable and sustainable communities will not only reduce the amount of time individuals spent commuting, but will also have significant benefits to air quality, public health and reducing greenhouse gas emissions."

With that in mind, we have created Barack Obama Bicycle Spoke Cards for the bike riding community to show their support and to begin a larger dialog about the importance of public transportation projects. The spoke cards, featuring the stencil art of Katrina displaced New Orleans Craft Mafia member Margaret Coble, can be purchased for $1.00 a piece at www.obamaspoke.com with 100% of the money collected going to producing and distribution of further spoke cards.

We are the change we have been waiting for!

Wear sunscreen. Ride on.
