Tough day for us, please watch for anyone selling a Marin bike. If the deal is too good to be true, that bike may be stolen.
The messaging from the mayor is disturbing. We collaborate and partner with other local communities - as we did with the @TownofTecumseh - just look at that fantastic multi-use trail!
Weaponized advocacy?

We were thrilled to provide support for this wonderful project that is providing a safe space for pedestrians, cyclists and everyone on wheels. Indeed, partnering and collaborating creates wins for everybody.
Trails make our community healthy and vibrant 🚴!
Proud to partner with @TownofTecumseh @mayormcnamara and contribute $750,000 in federal funding to extend the Riverside Drive trail!
Today we came together to open the entire trail - partnership delivers!
