yeah. please feel free to take from that whatever you agree with and send it in if you don't have time to whip up anything else. it covers a lot of different issues, so, cut and paste away. the most important thing is to get physical letters to him from concerned cyclists.

if he gets ten letters delivered to his home in a week regarding cycling, it'll get him thinking--even if only a little. if he gets ten more the following week, it'll get him thinking a little more. the point is that we all have the ability to send him a letter. it costs 39 cents and buys us the ability to tell ourselves that at least we're trying to make a difference.

out of towners can do this too. bloomberg's big on lip-service about tourism. let him know what you want out of your visit to NYC.

letter-writing's a good first step, but if we really want things to change, there are other routes that i and others have discussed in this thread that can be pursued as well. maybe times-up can organize a few pre-community affairs meeting parties with group rides to the meetings. i think they or TA did something similar during mayoral town halls before the election.
