BOSTON, MA (April 18, 2007) - Global warming experts begin a 5,000 mile bicycle-based speaking tour. David Kroodsma and Bill Bradlee will be speaking at various locations along the route and participating in group rides - details are available on the website. Their bicycle tour officially begins on April 21st at the Old North Church where Paul Revere began his ride. They will be riding through US cities including Hartford, NYC, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Toledo, E. Lansing, Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Pierre, Sheridan, Missoula, Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco to raise awareness of the need for the US to take action on global warming. David Kroodsma received his Masters degree from Stanford University and worked studying global warming. Kroodsma recently rode his bicycle 15,000 miles from California to the southern tip of South America to raise awareness of the international consequences of global warming. "This is a problem which will effect everyone on the planet. Unfortunately, less than half of Americans believe that it is human caused," said Kroodsma. "This is why we are talking to people across the U.S.– we must take action now." Bill Bradlee has worked for over a decade in the nonprofit sector educating people about environmental issues. "Many solutions are available to develop clean & safe energy, become more energy efficient and leave a healthy planet to our children," said Bradlee. "We live in a country known for ingenuity and we need to commit to energy innovation that will benefit both the economy and the environment." Kroodsma and Bradlee will be stopping along their U.S. route to encourage a discussion around the causes, consequences and solutions to global warming. Their talks will help people understand changes they can make as well as how they can have a voice in shaping policies to address global warming. They will be keeping a blog with stories and photos of their journey. Their presentation will also discuss David and Bill's experience biking across the country as well as global warming as seen from David's 15,000 mile bicycle ride to the tip of South America. The name of their project is "Ride for Climate USA." Ride for Climate USA is a bicycle journey to raise awareness of global warming, inspire action and promote solutions. It is a grassroots project developed, organized and run by volunteers who believe that the US needs to do more to address global warming.
