SWFBUD Member Store Owners Are Advocates, Too

SWFBUD (South West Florida Bicycle United Dealers) is an alliance of 7 Tampa Bay bike stores that's united behind bicycle advocacy and what's cool is owners of two of the seven stores sit as official members of local bicycle-pedestrian advisory committees.

Bill Addler, owner of Revolution Bicycles in St. Pete, is a member of the mayor's bicycle-pedestrian advisory committee in St. Pete.

And here's Brian Eckman, Carrollwood Bicycle Emporium owner, sitting as a committee member of the Hillsborough County Bicycle-Pedstrian Advisory Committee at a meeting today. Brian is listening to a consultant giving a presentation at the meeting.
