From March 9-12, over 600 advocates, representing 50 states and six countries, will gather in Washington, DC for the National Bike Summit 2010. Over 100 advocates and industry leaders attended the first League of American Bicyclists Summit in 2000 to strategize how to foment cycling’s rise to mainstream-transportation-mode status.
Since then, the Summit has grown in leaps and bounds, with record numbers of attendees – local and statewide advocates, planners, educators, retailers and industry representatives – choosing to return year after year, equipped with a far more sophisticated message and stronger relationships.
Sustainability is shaping up to be a major theme for 2010. Delegates will have the opportunity to meet with elected representatives to discuss important pieces of federal legislation, including the national Complete Streets Act (completestreets.org/federal-policy), and to network across state lines.
