Become a BikeMO sponsor
posted by Brent Hugh at 9/19/2008 09:14:00 PM
MoBikeFed has advocated for nonmotorized transportation since 1993. We partnered with the Missouri State Legislature in 1995 and in 2005 to improve state law for bicyclists. Several years ago we hired a lobbyist and added effort towards improving the state statutes for pedestrians, especially children.

With our solid reputation and work ethic firmly established and the recent interest in bicycling and walking--caused in part by the Tour of Missouri and rising gasoline prices--we are ready to move to the next level.

Rising to this new level means that, in addition to maintaining our current state efforts, we will broaden our efforts to add city officials and staff among our partners to promote nonmotorized transportation on local levels. To accomplish these additional responsibilities, we are inviting individuals and businesses from across Missouri to support MoBikeFed by becoming a BikeMO sponsor.

For me supporting MBF is a natural. Every I ride, whether it's on the city streets of West Plains or one of the State "lettered" routes I think of who is looking out for my safety. No other organization acts on behalf of bicyclists in the state like MBF. Whether it's advocacy in the form of legislation or awareness campaigns, no other organization represents my concerns to the groups that need to hear them!
Jeff Huff, West Plains


I support the MBF because I know that MBF is doing for bicycling in Missouri what I can not do personally. We may read all of the bicycling literature, tinker on our bicycles all night long, and ride to our heart's content...but none of that makes Missouri a better place to ride a bicycle.
Morgan Bearden, Rolla


As an avid runner, active in the Kansas City running community, I believe it is crucial to lend support to the Missouri Bicycle Federation. The issues this group tackles benefit bicyclists, runners, and walkers alike. Since I have learned more about the work this group does, I have also learned that there are very few people and organizations looking out for those that enjoy non-motorized transportation. In my opinion, it is imperative that the Missouri Bicycle Federation continue to represent us, and I am excited about the positive changes we will enjoy for years to come that will be a direct result of this group's leadership.
Dave Schieffer, Kansas City
