If you haven’t registered yet, go and do so. While on-site registration is available, let’s be realistic. It’s a lot easier on everyone involved — you, the Bicycle Alliance, the caterers — to have SOME advance notice of your presence. So go and register now, and be there on Monday to hear from James L. Oberstar, Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, Rochester Mayor Ardell Brede and a posse of others, and then go to advocate for bicycling with your legislators.
Wear something nice for the whole “meeting of legislators,” and see you there!
