And here is the tentative 1B plan. While I have not had this confirmed, I’m thinking that bike shop employees are…

The Loop in Tucson
Cyclovia is not a race; cyclovia is not a parade; cyclovia is simply a temporary space that springs up for people to interact with each other, get some exercise, and do so in safe, car-free environment.
I never would have thought that a video could be so moving, when it merely shows cyclists riding around at night. But this video from Tucson Velo shows the turnout for a bike vigil held yesterday for the victims of the shooting in Tucson on Saturday, January 8. The gunman killed six, and injured 13, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who is also a cyclist and cycling advocate.
Last week, I had the opportunity to meet with Mike McKisson, the founder and publisher of Tucson Velo.
