SUCCESSFUL CYCLISTS

A few weeks go a small group of small people lobbied the Virginia Beach City Council for an ordinance that would require people 14 years or younger to wear a bike helmet. This small group of people was successful due to the fact that they saw the opportunity and proceeded to carry out their plan with determination.

Where were these people when we needed to get the Lake Gaston pipeline going?
