Missouri Bicycle News Article

The Missouri Bicycle Federation will be leading the largest delegation ever from Missouri to the National Bike Summit March 4-7, 2008.

The most important part of the Summit is the opportunity to visit with members of congress or their staff from every office of a Missouri congress member and senator.

Here are some of the ideas and issue we will be discussing:

• Where Missouri Stands--2 million Missourians bicycle; 5.8 million walk; bicycling is a billion dollar industry in Missouri
  
• Status of our effort to "Complete the Katy Trail"
  
• The Quad-State Trails System--could reach 1000 miles and over 4 million citizens
• Local area updates (for individual congress members):
  • Cape Girardeau
