Requesting the Governor to take suitable public notice each year of
the month of June as "Mountain Bike Month".
Whereas, Cycling is a popular and health benefiting activity
throughout the year for thousands of West Virginia citizens; and
Whereas, Cycling by mountain bike on West Virginia's mountain
trails throughout the warm weather season is not only a healthful
experience but also one of exhilaration from the vast beauty of the
thick foliage and expansive vistas of the mountains and valleys of
this state; and
Whereas, The state itself benefits greatly from the many
visitors who travel and linger here to join in the thrill of
experiencing the wonder and beauty of West Virginia; and
Whereas, It is appropriate that the Governor comment upon the
significance of mountain biking and call upon the citizens of the
state to participate in this singular experience; and
Whereas, It serves the public interest for the Governor to
emphasize the benefits of mountain biking, both from an aspect of
health and from the aspect of being rewarded for living in this
wondrous place; and
Whereas, It is appropriate for the Governor to remind the
citizens of the state of policies with respect to improving and
extending our many biking trails and increase awareness that this
process also serves to influence and enhance the state's
attractiveness to the touring public; and
Whereas, It is requested that the Governor will ensure that
sufficient funds are provided in his budget to advertise the month
of June as "Mountain Bike Month" through public service media
announcements and through promotion through the Division of Motor
Vehicles and private not-for-profit organizations, and state
supported activities across the state; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Governor take suitable public notice of the month of
June as "Mountain Bike Month"
; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House is hereby
directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Governor of
the state and to the Capitol Press Corps.
