    As if membership wasn’t enough WABA is sweetening the pot.
    Each new membership comes with either a super duper WABA water bottle OR spiffy WABA sunglasses.

    Oh. be still my heart… WABA sunglasses.

    I’m already a member. What happens if I join again?

    Lifetime memberships are available. They come with a WABA jersey. And a tattoo.

    I’ve noticed that local shops don’t really advertise or promote WABA or the discounts associated with membership…So I always go in and buy stuff, but forget to present my card. Not that it’s their fault that I forget, but I think if shops were more proactive, they’d upsell memberships, as I’m sure a lot of customers don’t even know what WABA is.

    I was out with the Bike Ambassadors in NW DC this morning handing out Bike Maps and doing a bit of outreach. It was fun. We gave out a lot of maps and probably got some people thinking about joining WABA. I talked with a DC cop for about 5 minutes and may even have got her to join.

    The other thing that worked well for me was helping out 2 stranded cyclists on the way home today. I fixed two bikes and when the people asked what they could do to thank me, I told them to go out to waba.org, and if they liked what they saw, JOIN!

    Everyone can spread the word like this. If you’ve got a cycling friend, give them some info about what WABA is doing, point them to the web site and get them to join. If they’re already members, get them to re-up!

    This organization doesn’t suck.

    Love,

    Dirt.

    You can also give to them through the CFC if your employer participates. I give an amount each pay period which then qualifies me for membership, quick and easy way to do it.

    Thank you! I hope you enjoy the swag. The swag I did not get when I renewed. And God knows I live for swag…

    I joined today. :D

    It was a group effort.
    – I was asked if I was a member in a very friendly manner at the Rosslyn pit stop.
    (I didn’t sign up but felt somewhat guilty, because I know I benefit from WABA’s advocacy efforts.)
    – I was asked again at the Golden Triangle pit stop.
    (This time I signed up and exorcised the guilt monster.)
    – And I received the sticker at NatGeo pit stop.

    Nice job, WABA folks!

    It’s just the effect of the light falling on my desk today. Same color as the sky. So strange …

    Photo was taken as DanB was riding towards the camera. He appears to have been riding really fast.
