One word sums it up best: incredible. I am absolutely amazed at your response to the Match Challenge my husband Jim and I proposed at the beginning of December. As long-time supporters of the League, we wanted to inspire members and supporters to give a bit more. Our $100,000 match goal was a big stretch, but we were hopeful we’d raise a few extra dollars for the League’s incredible programs. -

More than 34,000 riders can't be wrong: The 2013 National Bike Challenge succeeded in uniting Americans to pedal 18 million miles. But we listened to your feedback and we're working behind the scenes to make the 2014 Challenge even more engaging, dynamic and user-friendly.

You are on the ball, ready and willing to act, whether that means writing to Congress, sharing your love of cycling through teaching, or challenging your work colleagues to ride further and more often.

So you've got yourself a bike lane. Great. But guess what you might also have? A bikelash! From cranky columnists complaining about scofflaw cyclists to parking-obsessed NIMBYs who never waste an opportunity to remind you that "this isn't Amsterdam," the addition of a bike lane to your community can open up a Pandora's box of bike hate. But fear not! -

Last Thursday, NPR ran a story about bike share accessibility issues. The reporter, Joel Rose, shared interviews with street users in DC’s Anacostia neighborhood, a bike advocate in New York City, and a researcher in Chicago.

We're making sure the 2014 National Women's Bicycling Forum is a venue to share proven, effective campaigns from across the country that can give you a boost in your community.

It’s been a little less than a year since Bike Law University was launched last January. In that time the series has covered 10 categories of law that may affect cyclists and motorists as they share the road. To cap off the year we are updating the sections on Safe Passing laws, Share the Road license plates, Bicycling Under the Influence, Mandatory Helmet laws, and Where to Ride laws.
