LA Bike Summit, Los Angeles CA
March 7th 2009, 9am-4pm
Location:
Los Angeles Trade Tech College
Address:
400 West Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90011
In Southern California, the growth and interest in bike riding and bike advocacy has increased to the point that the movement could significantly benefit from the formation of a common agenda. Bike organizations, including policy and grass roots groups, could present a stronger, more unified front and a shared vision by combining communication, outreach, research and educational resources. This partnership would help to not only strengthen the presence of biking as an alternative to driving and a source of physical activity, but would help to create a more livable and sustainable region.
The Bike Summit will bring together bicycle advocates, advocates for healthy communities, and others to network and to plan a bikable healthy future for Southern California. Among the Bike Summit’s goals are:
- Getting bicyclists involved in advocacy for more bike friendly cities
- Strengthening ties between bicycle organizations
- Growing the capacity of bicycle organizations
- Strengthening ties between bicycle organizations and the broader movements for the environment, environmental justice, health, and urban livability.
