National Bike Summit Wrap-up
This week, Bike Pittsburgh’s executive director, Scott Bricker (not to be confused with the other Scott Bricker) attended the League of American Bicyclists 2008 National Bike Summit. This was his third year in attendance and the fifth year Bike Pittsburgh has been represented.
It was by far the largest summit ever with over 500 cycling advocates in attendance. We spent an entire day learning from each other in workshops, and one day lobbying our elected officials on Capital Hill to support bicycling.
Instead of recapping everything, we will just point you all to Jonathan Maus’ blog, BikePortland, where he made frequent updates on the 2008 Summit.
