National Bike Summit 2009
This years theme is Go for Green: Building Bicycling Into the Transportation Bill
Bicyclists led the Good Roads Movement in the 1880s, successfully lobbying for paved roads to drag our nation out of the mud. In 2009, the stage is set for bicyclists to once again lead reform of our transportation system. A “smart” transportation movement is needed to solve the challenges of climate change, obesity, congestion, pollution, safety, and dependence on foreign oil.
The 2009 National Bike Summit is focused on making a powerful case for expanding Federal support for bicycling – for active transportation and recreation. Join fellow advocates, industry leaders, and retailers as we make our voice for change heard: we have a new President, new Congress and new Administration to address. The new Congress begins writing a new federal transportation funding bill and bicyclists MUST be at the table. Visit the LAB website for more information.
