GObike Buffalo

Thank you to The Buffalo News Editorial Board for calling on local politicians to wake up and start protecting their residents' lives. These tragedies are not isolated, they are not inevitable, and they are not without a solution. City and town leaders have a massive toolkit at their disposal that is both affordable and effective. It's up to residents to directly demand, through calls, emails, and in-person attendance, that their streets be safer, and prevent any local leader from falsely victim-blaming, or falsely suggesting there's nothing that can be done.

City and town officials throughout WNY have multiple cheap and fast tools at their disposal to protect the lives of their community's children. The time to demand they prioritize children's safety over speedy cars on residential streets is NOW.

This recognition of the power cultivated by Justin over 14 years is well-earned, and contributes to the momentum of our movement in this region. Everyone, of any age and ability and background, has a right to get where they're going safely - on foot, on a bike, in a wheelchair, on transit, and in a car.

Congratulations to our Founder and Executive Director Justin Booth for being recognized by City and State NY magazine as one of 100 most powerful transportation professionals in the entire state. It's been 14 years of tireless efforts to make our city and region safer, healthier, more connected, vibrant, and economically resilient, and this recognition is well-earned.

In order to attract talent from the rest of the county, local businesses have begun adopting GObike's messaging about modernizing our city and region by building out safe, accessible, sustainable transportation options. The next generation of the American workforce isn't wooed by free car parking like their predecessors were. If we want Buffalo to compete, it has to start thinking differently. Join us tonight, 5-7P at 313 Broadway to talk about it! This party is open to all! The bike community is everyone's community, and Bike Month is for the daily rider to the 2x/year rider. Come hang out and have a beer, pop a wheelie!

Excellent ride!
