Better bicycle advocacy means better bicycling
Submitted by Brent Hugh on Sat, 01/01/2005 - 8:39pm
The Chicagoland Bicycle Federation has put together a draft bicycle benchmarking report that puts together various facts and statistics about bicycling in different cities and states around the U.S.
The report shows very clearly that better, larger, and better-funded bicycle advocacy organizations were generally associated with more bicycling, more bicycle accommodations, more funding for bicycle accommodations, more funding for bicycle safety, and lower bicycle injury and fatality rates.
Will you become a member of the Missouri Bicycle Federation or donate to MoBikeFed's current fund raising drive and make Missouri a better place to bicycle?
It really works.
