[sustran] Re: UN "ambassador" for sustainable transport?

[Todd Edelman, Green Idea Factory]

Hi,

Lance Armstrong doesn't usually get around by bike, the thing which 
helped make him a household name - the Tour de France -  has nothing to 
do with urban cycling. I doubt he rides public transport, either. I 
think he also is busy with his eponymous foundation which focuses on 
testicular cancer.

Dave Snyder, the former director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition 
and current president of the board of Livable City (among other roles) 
suggested Sandra Oh, a Canadian actress, who he said rides her bike to 
work.  Her current highest profile role is in the U.S.  TV show Grey's 
Anatomy.

In 2005, Oh made People magazine's list of the 50 Most Beautiful People^

AND don't miss this link, impressive for obvious reasons:

p.s. VERY  much related to what this ambassador will...uh, "ambass" 
about, Livable City has one of my favourite sustainable transport 
graphics front and centre on its website:

The yahoogroups version is only a mirror and 'members' there cannot post to the real sustran-discuss (even if the yahoogroups site makes it seem like you can). Apologies for the confusing arrangement.
