The Missouri Bicycle & Pedestrian Federation was pleased to be one of dozens of organizations represented at a recent Columbia bicycling stakeholders meeting organized by the PedNet Coalition.

According to the KBIA news report:

Bicycle stakeholders met Wednesday night to discuss a variety of issues facing the cycling community. At a meeting Wednesday night Columbia residents and local organizations met to brainstorm ideas to improve the cycling community. The caf style discussion broke people to into smaller groups to focus in on key ideas before addressing the group as a whole. Major topics discussed included ways to create a better relationship between motorists and cyclists, ways to change negative stereotypes about cyclists, and the possible adoption of a cyclist code of conduct. The next step in the process will be to focus in on these key topics and devote time to finalizing plans on how to implement these ideas within the community.
