Do you like to ride bicycles?
Do you like living in a progressive city like Madison?
Do you support all the individuals and organizations that have made our city great?
Then come participate in Progressive Dane's first ever "Progressive Dane salutes Progressive Madison 2006 Bike Tour!" On Saturday, June 3, folks from all over Dane County will meet in Burrows Park at 10:30 a.m. to kick off our bike tour.
It's not too late to register! You can register online until noon on Friday, June 2. You can also register on the day of the tour starting at 9:30 a.m. at Burrows Park. The registration fee is $25 and includes a American Apparel (non sweat shop) t-shirt. For an extra $11 you will recieve a complimentary 1 year PD membership (new members only). Click here to register online. We also encourage you to have your friends and family sponsor your ride, click here for a sponsorship form.
The tour is a time for us to celebrate our diverse, forward-thinking city, to unite people and community organizations, and to celebrate Madison’s proud history of independent political action - it is Progressive Dane's way of saying, "Thank you, Madison!"
We will ride to 10 different progressive locations in the greater Isthmus area, including the Labor Temple, Centro Hispano, WORT Community Radio Station, the Social Justice Center, Neighborhood House and more! At each location, elected officials and other community leaders will be waiting to check in riders - meet folks like Alders Brenda Konkel, Austin King and Brian Benford, as well as newly elected School Board Member Arlene Silveira.
This is a fun event for folks of any age and ability. This is a do-it-yourself ride - you may ride as quickly or as slowly as you like, stopping at as many or as few stops as you like. The entire tour covers 10 locations and 15 miles of bike paths and streets. We only ask that you return back to Burrows Park by 1:00 p.m. for a lunch and awards ceremony.
We are also looking for volunteers to help out! Call (257 4985) or contact our office to help out.

We, the members of Progressive Dane, join together to form an independent political party in Dane County with a major focus on local issues. We pledge to work to improve the quality of life in Dane County for all people, particularly those marginalized by economic and social discrimination. We will work to improve our local government by making it open, easier to understand, and accessible for all citizens of Dane County. We are working to achieve positive policy change by electing accountable progressive officials and mobilizing citizen action.
Progressive Dane's "In The News" blog keeps you up to date on the latest news from (and about) PD. Check here for information on PD's policy initiatives and to read about what our endorsed elected officials are up to.
