This past weekend I had the opportunity to represent the League of American Bicyclists at Bike Expo New York in support the Five Boro Bike Tour. It was great to meet hundreds of people over two days who were excited to ride through New York City in streets free of motor vehicles.

National Bike Month is here! Read on for dates of important #BikeMonth events and tools to use to make your May better.

By identifying or creating safe environments to ride, we offer girls and women the opportunity to give cycling a try. The women I work with say being on a bike brings them closer to nature, to their community and to themselves and, along the way, they discover (or rediscover) the joy of riding a bike.

Thanks to all of our National Bike Summit attendees who came to Washington and advocated with their members of Congress. One of our asks this year was to robustly fund the TIGER program.

Last week, Bill Nesper and I attended a tour and crash test demonstration at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. We learned a lot about how they test and about what they’ve learned.

Now is a great time to join the growing number of bicyclists who are proud to call themselves members of the League! We’re adding new membership benefits all the time, and we’re proud to introduce a few new partnerships for spring.

As a member of the Road to Zero Coalition, the League of American Bicyclists is excited by the progress made in the national movement for Vision Zero — zero traffic deaths and severe injuries.
