In 1880, cyclists formed the League to demand paved roads, signing their names on a massive wheel that was presented to Congress. While our methods have changed, our vision is the same: uniting cyclists to make biking better. Your membership dues power all of our time-tested programs: the bike-boosting Bicycle Friendly America, our deep understanding of federal transportation policy and how it is made, the Smart Cycling bike education program, our equity and outreach programs, and our support for local clubs and advocacy organizations in all their efforts to make your ride better.
