2013 National Bike Summit

Share This

The 2013 National Bike Summit drew more than 750 attendees from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and three Canadian provinces.

  • We heard from top leaders, like New York City Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood
  • We explored how Bicycling Means Business in more than a dozen engaging workshops
  • And we took our message to Capitol Hill to tell our members of Congress how the current transportation bill, MAP-21, is impacting bicycling and walking in our communities.

See photos, videos, presentations and resources from the 2013 Summit below — thank you to those who attended and see you in 2014!
