P.E.D.A.L. is the bicycling
club in
Loveland, Colorado. Although it is now largely a social group,
P.E.D.A.L. began
as a bicycling advocacy group in 1970. It began, in fact, on the first
Earth
Day. PEDAL is still involved in bicycle advocacy, providing expertise
to the
Northern Front Range Transportation and Air Quality Program Council
(NFRT &
AQPC), the City of Loveland, Smart Trips, and other governmental
agencies
interested in promoting alternate transportation.
P.E.D.A.L. members have been instrumental in creating and organizing
Bike Week
in Northern Colorado, have helped plan the Loveland Recreational Trail
System,
and have consulted with the City on several projects. P.E.D.A.L. has
been
involved with numerous educational projects from Earth Day to the Youth
Environmental Summit.
P.E.D.A.L. represents the interests of cyclists to governments and
helps
represent the interest of cyclists in many matters. We have rallied
around our
members when we think they have been teated badly or needed help.
P.E.D.A.L.
also provides social opportunities for cyclists to get acquainted
through the
activity cyclists like most: organized rides.
P.E.D.A.L. organizes rides to suit a wide range of interests and
abilities. The
length of our rides range from 2 miles to 200 miles. We organize both
road-bike
rides and mountain-bike rides. PEDAL rides comprise rides anybody can
do, but
also include rides only a well-conditioned, dedicated cyclist should
attempt.
Whatever the abilities and interests of its members, P.E.D.A.L. offers
a way
for cyclists of many stripes - recreational, commuter, casual or
serious - to
get acquainted and share interests.

P.E.D.A.L. Privacy Policy |
Privacy Policy"Loose lips sink ships!" Many of you may not remember the "war years" (no, we're not talking about Saddam), but that phrase was used to remind citizens not to talk about what they knew as it might be of value to our enemies and waste the lives of our fighting men. With Internet privacy becoming an important issue for many, we wanted to share our privacy policy with you. If you're not concerned about privacy, then your ship is already sunk! |
