4 GREETINGS! As Mayor of Dallas, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to the participants of the inaugural Dallas Bike Ride! Dallas has more than 100 miles of bike trails and is home to 15 local, bike-friendly neighborhood associations. With the launch of new bike share systems in Dallas this summer, biking is more accessible than ever. Our city is ready to become a biking city. At full build out, the Dallas Bikeway System will feature 123 miles of bike lanes, 213 miles of shared lane markings and 115 miles of protected bike lanes. Dallas Bike Ride is the start of a new tradition celebrating bicycling and twowheeled transportation. I join the residents of Dallas in wishing you a memorable, joyous and successful event. Best regards, Michael S. Rawlings Mayor, City of Dallas MAYOR WELCOME LETTER MAYOR WELCOME LETTER 4

5 WELCOME TO THE INAUGURAL DALLAS BIKE RIDE! We are pleased to present this unique event as a celebration of biking in the heart of North Texas. Today is the culmination of nearly two years of work focused on showcasing our beautiful city, its iconic landmarks and diverse neighborhoods. This is your day to enjoy the city car-free and to bike because you love to. I would like to thank Mayor Rawlings and the entire Dallas City Council, the Dallas olice Department, the Dallas Fire-Rescue Department and all of the City agencies and offices that have worked to make this event possible. I would also like to extend my gratitude to our founding partners, including the Dallas Sports Commission, Visit Dallas, Uptown Dallas, Inc. and Downtown Dallas, Inc. A sincere thank you is also in order to the hundreds of volunteers who are helping support Dallas Bike Ride - from getting you on your way at the start line to welcoming you at the finish line, and everything in between. Finally, I would like to thank you, the participants, for joining us on this wonderful day. Your involvement not only allows us to celebrate biking in Dallas in a new and exciting way, but also helps raise significant dollars for youth bike education programs. This includes direct support of Incarnation House and BikeTexas, which are now able to deliver programs that will ensure future generations of Dallas bicyclists are educated in bike safety and the rules of the road. These initiatives will help support the growth of biking in our communities here in Dallas for years to come. We hope when you cross the finish today, it does not mark the end of the journey for you. Instead it is just the beginning of a life-long love of bicycling. Enjoy the Ride!
