Representative Giffords is a cyclist and member of the Congressional Bike Caucus, according to an <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tucsonvelo.com\/news\/congresswoman-giffords-talks-bikes\/4153\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>interview she gave to the Tucson Velo<\/strong><\/a> website in October (thanks to Branan Cooper for sharing this with us). Tucson has a special place in the League\u2019s heart; it seems almost inconceivable that such an act would occur in a community we have always found to be so friendly and welcoming. Mayor Walkup, everyone involved in El Tour de Tucson, city and county staff, and the entire local cycling community must be shocked and appalled at these tragic events. We hope beyond hope that those cycling leaders can meet with Representative Giffords during the National Bike Summit in March.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h3>Andy Clarke<br \/>\nPresident, League of American Bicyclists<\/h3>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bikeleague.org\/blog\/2011\/01\/hearts-go-out-to-rep-giffords-and-tucson-community\/\">https:\/\/www.bikeleague.org\/blog\/2011\/01\/hearts-go-out-to-rep-giffords-and-tucson-community\/<\/a>oldId.2011011010553821<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from Streetsblog.net by League of American Bicyclists Blog We were shocked to learn of the dreadful shooting in Tucson, Ariz., yesterday \u2013 we are still waiting to learn the full extent of the casualties and the status of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her staff.
