RIDE REMINDER
Mon March 24 2014 / Issue #1

On Our Radar

After a 3 year hiatus, we have brought back the Ride Reminder!  We are back in action so you can keep up-to-date on Upcoming Rides, Events, News, Reviews and other Iowa cycling information.

Social media has gotten out of control and if you are like us, we are so inundated with data that we cannot keep up. Plus, we are not on Facebook and Twitter as much as we used to and end up missing some important posts, events, etc..

Behold the "BIKEIOWA RIDE REMINDER". You can read it anytime, and at YOUR leisure as it arrives in your inbox. It was created to look good on your computer, your tablet and your phone. It is simple, light weight and hopefully informative.

You'll see Upcoming Events for the next 15 days as well as News, Features and Reviews that have been posted in the last 15 days. In the future, we'd like to add Trail updates, etc. too.
 
Ride Reminders will be sent out bi-weekly and for special occasions such as Bike to Work Month or times when there is a necessity to notify cyclists of important advocacy issues or impromptu meetings where cyclist participation is a must. 

Most of you know that this is not our day job. We do it for the love of cycling in Iowa. We have a ton of ideas on our plate to make BIKEIOWA better and we are hammering them out as time allows, but we are always open to constructive feedback and new ideas.

Let us know what you think.

Of course, if you wish not to receive this Newsletter, you can unsubscribe via the links below.
Thanks for using BikeIowa
Ride Safe!
