I'm a AAA member...but now question the value I receive when there are other "towing vendors" out there... I don't use any of their other services...
I'm really quite shocked by this:
ANNOUNCEMENTShttp://support.railstotrails.org/sit...r?pagename=AAA
Ask AAA to be a part of America’s Transportation Future
The American Automobile Association (AAA) wants Congress to cut funds that support trail, biking and walking programs in order to funnel that money to the highway system. AAA has forgotten that bicyclists drive, support AAA, pay gas taxes and want balanced transportation systems that provide the choice to get around in a variety of ways. Help us help them remember! Sign the Petition
I've signed the petition as a member of AAA, but the rails-to trails petition is available for non-AAA members as well.

I signed and forwarded to others and yes, we are a AAA household. But we'll be checking out the BetterWorld club now. Thanks everyone for the info.

Luuuuuuuuv my Better World membership!
Every driving and bike-riding member of the family has one. www.betterworldclub.com
And you even get a DISCOUNT if you regularly ride mass-transit.
I had also been a long-time member of AAA, but I could not continue to support a group that was so strongly against my other transportation choices. (I drive AND bike AND bus AND train AND walk)Last edited by KnottedYet; 09-28-2010 at 06:35 PM.
