- Notes
- The National Bike Summit's lead sponsor is Bikes Belong, and is also sponsored by IMBA, Adventure Cycling, NBDA, WABA, and the National MS Society.
Bicycling advocates and industry leaders have a remarkable opportunity in 2008. New leadership in Washington is ushering in an era of public interest politics, and our issues are squarely in the public interest. Long-time allies are in new positions of power, and the bike-partisan agenda continues to ignite passion on both sides of the aisle.
Come to the 2008 National Bike Summit and share your passion for cycling. Help Congress see that the solution to climate change, health care and energy independence is right in front of them! Help them Think: Bike.
