In the past few years, Los Angeles has seen tremendous growth and energy in its emerging bike movement, consisting of various organizations, rides, events, blogs, individuals, and more. This grassroots development has been exciting and invigorating, scaling up opportunities for both bike advocacy, new policy developments, and expanding the number of people choosing to bicycle in the region. Bike riding, as a form of transportation, physical activity, cultural and social activity and leisure time recreation, has moved beyond the margin and is an important visible solution to many urban issues from global warming to lack of physical activity.
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.
