Cincinnati Mayor to Receive Iron Girl Cyclist
Cincinnati Mayor, Charlie Luken, will be at Cincinnati City Hall at 12:30, Tuesday, May 31 to receive NBG Scout/Ambassador, Concetta Curtis. Concetta is on her way to San Francisco from Miami and her send off from Mayor Manny Diaz there. Already blessed by nine other Mayors, Concetta, a broken back survivor, is a part of the National Bicycle Greenway's (NBG) 4th annual National Mayors' Ride which will visit 52 big cities this year. In Columbus, her travels were blessed by Mayor and gubernatorial candidate Michael Coleman as well as bike officials and Columbus city council person, Mary Ellen O'Shaugnessey. In Pittsburgh, Mayor Tom Murphy and a throng of thousands sent her West with their NBG Day proclamation.
Representatives from the Ohio Bicycle Federation and the transportation arm of the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments will also be on hand to greet Concetta as will other bicycle advocates from Cincinnati.
Cincinnati has been chosen for the first wave of key anchor cities in the NBG's plan to interconnect America's population centers with a network of safe bikeable roads and paths. And to show why this is so, Cincinnati will be flexing just some of the bicycle muscle it has to show. More info: bikeroute.com

Man... I thought it was radical when someone gave an elected official a bike to gain favor. Giving the mayor a girl cyclist should really ensure that the town gets some great bike lanes!

We might *hope* for better writing but I don't think we can *expect*> it.>
Well, not to be picky, but when someone uses a conventional press release format (complete with heading), I would *hope* that we can *expect* coherent (or at least competent) writing. (Of course, I still expect tv and radio "personalities" to know basic grammar, too.)
