From the Think Bike website
The Mayors office of Cape Town, in particular, the Executive Deputy Mayor, Councillor Grant Haskin, has thought it good to support Think Bike and its initiatives into the future.
Support, as a start, comes to the tune of 50 000 (thats fifty thousand) bumper stickers which the Mayor's office has ordered from Think Bike. Deputy Haskin has committed to putting a bumper sticker on every Cape Town City Council vehicle - thats 12 000 vehicles
We see this as the tip of the iceberg in Cape Town with many spin-offs coming from this - and it has already started rolling in. Think Bike has been invited to participate in the upcoming NMT workshop as well as participating in the planned Safety & Awareness forum.
We are confident that other organisations and institutions will follow in their support for Think Bike. I must add here that Councillor Haskin rides both a motorcycle and bicycle and safety and awareness lies dear to his heart. He is outspoken in his views on safety and his input into the process into the future is invaluable.
Discussions are already underway to ensure a greater co-operation with the traffic authorities in Cape Town and other influential departments.
THINK BIKE ROCKS
Councillor Grant Haskin
