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. Please join us: we need every Congressional District to be
represented.
