    <h2>About</h2>

    <p class="lead">
      Fixed Touring established in 2012 is a not for profit bicycle advocacy
      organization. Fixed Touring provides unique opportunities for Dallas/Fort
      Worth cyclists to increase bicycle skills, maintenance and route knowledge
      across the state while decreasing the amount of gears.
    </p>

    <p>
      The goal of Fixed Touring is to promote and showcase reliable, self
      sufficient, and logical means to physical activity... 1 gear &amp; 1 bike at a
      time. Comprised of five officers and two members from a variety of backgrounds
      and professions, Fixed Touring is organized just as diverse as the areas we
      seek to serve. Fixed Touring seeks to increase awareness of cycling and active
      lifestyle events, promote community-wide physical fitness, and benefit
      partnering companies/organizations. Fixed Touring’s strategy is to influence
      participation in regular physical activity by associating it with sustainable
      transportation, promoting cycling awareness, reaching physical activity
      requirements, spending time with friends, having fun, and seeing the country
      on two wheels. Fixed Touring will target riders/non-riders alike and a focus
      will be placed on developing cycling communities, enhancing cycling awareness,
      developing active transportation infrastructure and promoting community
      cycling events. Fixed Touring seeks to improve citizen’s attitudes,
      self-efficacy and perception through a person-oriented and community-driven
      program, successfully implementing bicycle touring and transportation in
      conjunction with the recently passed Dallas Bike Plan, local business funding
      and community organization support.
