<p>2) We could use some help getting the word out to women who want to learn about cycling for transportation and recreation. Would you be willing to bring flyers to your ward office, your local library branch, bike shops near you, health clinics near you, or any other place you can think of that might attract the ladies? Jennifer James is going to be at Rapid Transit, 1900 W. North Avenue on Saturday, March 1 at 10:00 a.m. with flyers for anyone who wants to stop by to pick some up.</p>

<p>Hopefully people say yes because I want these pants so much. But I don't think I've ever paid more than $50 for a pair of jeans, and even that was a lot for me.</p>
