Climate Ride

UNITED STATES - SEPTEMBER 24: On September 20th, one hundred and twenty Climate Riders started pedaling and went 300 miles from New York City to the nation's Capitol in Washington D.C. in five days, departing from the heart of Manhattan and then meandering along country roads through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. On the fifth day, riders entered Washington and rode past the Washington Monument and then past the U.S. Capitol arriving at the Upper Senate Park. They celebrated by doing laps around the fountain. The ride was to inspire the American public and raise awareness for meaningful climate change and renewable energy legislation. September 24, 2008. (Photo By Douglas Graham/Roll Call/Getty Images)
