Here are lists of other organizations, publications and resources that can help you Be Great.
Malewaukee
Organizations, Groups, and Individuals that follow the Social.Resonsibility manifesto with man-approved content- Beers and Gears a non "bike club" bike club. As they say "Enjoying a activity that is socially conscious in an urban environment, yet includes what folks in Milwaukee do best!" sounds like a rephrasing of Social.Responsibility and the Well-Met Code to me.
