National Bike Summit 2007

The Largest, Most Successful Summit Ever

The National Bike Summit brought together more than 430 stakeholders from user groups, industry, government, and elected officials from around the country to share their ideas and best practices. This represented an increase of more than 20 percent from 2006, which had been the largest Summit ever. Industry superstars, innovative thinkers, and effective national, state and local advocates helped craft a persuasive case statement for bicycling.
