"I've just returned from a bicycle trip in the Netherlands where I had the opportunity to experience their comprehensive cycling infrastructure. With everything from Knoopunts to Fietsenstallings, it really allows you to effectively use your bicycle as transportation. I was excited to see The Winning Campaigns Training being offered by Local Motion as it will help me to bring some great Dutch concepts to Burlington. Sign me up! - Stu Lindsay, Member, Burlington Walk/Bike Council
