People for Bikes
People for Bikes is an inititive of Bikes Belong Coalition dedicated to “gathering a million names of support, to speak with one powerful voice—to let policy makers, the media and the public know that bicycling is important and should be promoted.”
From the People for Bikes website:
We’re all united by a shared passion: bikes. Bikes keep us healthy, carry us from point A to point B, save us from high gas prices, and make our air cleaner and our roads less congested. Bikes fill our lives with adventure and excitement, relaxing our minds and energizing our souls.
Peopleforbikes.org is dedicated to channeling that passion to improve the future of bicycling. Our goal is to gather a million names of support, to speak with one, powerful voice—to make bicycling safer, more convenient and appealing for everyone.
Simply put, we believe that life is far more enjoyable when it’s experienced on two wheels. We believe that by coming together, we can make our world a better place to ride.

Yes! That’s just fabulous, moving, and one of the few GOOD representations / promotions of cycling.
I run a sustainable transportation campaign, and we just released the following two short commercials for the program. We did it on a shoestring budget, and hope our small contribution can help the work of colouring in the missing healthy representations of cycling in media.
