To create a quietly powerful way to market neighborhoods, parks, cultural centers and businesses
To create demand for alternatives to motor vehicles; saving gas, money and lives
All Kids Need Opportunities to Exercise

Cleaner air, peace and quiet for a day in areas with high noise and air pollution
To allow for a free, easy way to get outside and reconnect with our friends, families and neighbors
To help everyone, regardless of their income, race or class find a new way to become more active, healthy, and yes, even happier.
