Cyclo-Intelligencia de Long Beach,
It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the visit of Jeff Mapes, author of Pedaling Revolution, to Long Beach November 19, 2009. Mr. Mapes is a senior political reporter for The Oregonian Newspaper in Portland, OR. and has written an excellent book about how cyclists are changing American cities. His book puts efforts in Long Beach to become a great city for cycling in perspective nationally and forecasts what is to come here.
