Yesterday I presented the case for biking to my local Community Board. Today, I was able to secure a spot on Borough President Scott Stringer's Borough Board Spending Priorities for fiscal 2007 agenda to discuss Transportation issues. Some of the community board leadership from other areas of Manhattan were present as well as folks from various non-profits seeking funding from the City. I think my speech took them by surprise since I didn't represent an organization seeking funding. He told me that they are fully examining all their transportation options and that biking is definitely something they are interested in pursuing. His website certainly sounds that way

I had the honor of being the last speaker to address the BP himself before he turned things over to his deputy. Full text of my speech below.
