Senator Tim Kaine visits Green Lizard Cycling today

Just after the Friday Coffee Club convened at Green Lizard Cycling, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine stopped by the shop as part of a series of visits to local Virginia businesses. Senator Kaine is a cyclist who has participated in at least one BikeVirginia. Green Lizard owner Dave Meyer gave the Senator a tour of the shop. He later presented Senator Kaine with a t-shirt, water bottle, and a nice pair of Green Lizard sunglasses.

We pine for the days when Sen. Kaine was governor of Virginia. He actually thought more people should bike commute to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions (Governor's Commission on Climate Change report which appears to be no longer online) and to save fuel and reduce air pollution (Virginia Energy Plan which also appears to be no longer online).
