Lance has unmatched credibility among cyclists that is enhanced every July. His prominent support of the League and IMBA helps both of our organizations grow and do more for bicycling. Of course Lance isn't the only asset we have. To boost mountain biking and improve trail access, we need to connect effectively with the variety of societal trends and statistics that affirm the value of our sport. By now, most Americans have probably heard about U.S. President Bush's new effort to promote physical fitness and active lifestyles. The president has increased his training reg- imen and is encouraging all Americans to join him. The role of mountain biking in promoting fitness and countering obesity, particularly in children, can't be overestimated. It is one of the powerful societal benefits of our sport. When we describe our programs and our organizations, we need to emphasize this. (And let's not overlook the physical benefits of trailwork, either.) The power of mountain biking in enhancing tourism is important, too.
