Bicycling Resources and Advocacy
Ever wonder what advocacy really is? You may be interested in advocacy and not even know it! If you
are concerned about the rights and privileges of bicyclists, whether for access to trails or safer road rid-
ing conditions, then you are interested in bicycling advocacy.
There are many ways to become involved in advocacy and help ensure that bicyclists as a community of
people are heard and understood. There are clubs and coalitions, as well as concerned individuals,
throughout the area that work to improve bicycling conditions, rights and privileges. Don’t wait for oth-
ers to solve problems for you. Become familiar with the decision-makers and bicycling advocacy groups
in your area to work toward improved conditions for bicyclists.
If you are concerned about the safety, rights and privileges of bicyclists, whether on trails, paths, or the
