NOT FOR SALE:
America's Public Lands Are At Risk!
At Esker Cycles we name all of our bikes after defenders of wild places for a reason. Because wild, open and free places are worth defending. We want to use our little corner of this little industry to bring attention to the messages of folks like Japhy, Hayduke and the Lorax.
But now, in America, under the Senate Budget Reconciliation Bill, our public lands face the biggest existential crisis we have seen in generations.
Public lands that are possibly up for sale with this bill are not only where the majority of our trails are, they are also sacred indigenous places, habitat for wildlife, and where our water comes from.
Public lands are a national treasure for all to enjoy. Please join us in contacting your representatives and letting them know that OUR PUBLIC LANDS ARE NOT FOR SALE.
Here are a few quick and easy ways you can contact your represntatives:
