Uploaded by MiaBirkJoyride on Jul 6, 2010
Joyride: Pedaling Toward a Healthier Planet is the story of pioneering transportation leader Mia Birk's 20-year crusade to integrate bicycling into daily life. With a table scrap of funding, she led a revolution that grew Portland, OR into the #1 American cycling city.
Through a panoply of hilarious and poignant stories, Birk takes readers on a 20-year rollercoaster journey of global and local discovery and education, while bringing into sharp focus some of the planet's most pressing and hotly debated energy and transportation issues, policies, shortcomings, and solutions.
Joyride will be released in September. Visit www.miabirk.com to pre-order your copy of the book.

Excellent, Mia. Keep up the good work ! I live in Alexandria, VA and the local "bikers" seem to quite active here as well. Just moved out from Denver; another bicycle friendly city. The message is a good one.
