Thanks to your support and membership, 2010 was one of the most successful years ever for the Missouri Bicycle and Pedestrian Federation?

Our goal, as outlined in MoBikeFed's Vision of Bicycling and Walking in Missouri, has been to bring a professionally run, stable, effective bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organization to Missouri--one that is the equal of the advocacy organization found in any other state.

Everything you see highlighted in our Annual Report is in service of our Vision and its primary goals:  To double the amount of bicycling and walking in Missouri while simultaneously cutting the injury and fatality rates in half.

Highlights from the Annual Report:

  • MoBikeFed worked with local and national organizations to put a stop to the proposed St Charles County Bicycle Ban.
