 DOGGIE PEDAL PARADE
May 31, 2009
The second annual Doggie Pedal Parade was a huge success. Cyclists rode their dogs in baskets, trailers and pedicabs to the cheers of onlookers on the street. The ride ended with a big doggie celebration in Washington Square Park with tofu dogs donated by Earth Matters, homemade cookies and other great snacks. Everybody had a great time and we raised awareness about the benefits of green transportation and animal adoption.
Check out the really cute PHOTOS and VIDEO from the ride

For over 20 years, Time's Up! Environmental Group has been working on environmental awareness and increasing non-polluting transportation. We are happy to report that both are on a continuous rise in New York City thanks to your support. Our wide range of different types of group rides have helped attract thousands of new bicyclists which has encouraged others to ride and become every day commuters. This increase in ridership has also put pressure on the city to increase infrastructure- which we are now seeing.
