National Bike Summit 2022 Let's Build Our Vision of Better Biking Together
20 22 NATIONAL BIKE SUMMIT
CHOOSING OUR FUTURE
We’re back, baby! With virtual content accessible by any bike advocate, anywhere, and the return of in-person content, the Summit offers a host of opportunities to get more involved in making biking better for everyone now and into the future.
“Hybrid makes so much sense!
I’d never want to give up the in person opportunity but the virtual opportunity will allow so many more bicycle advocates to participate.” “It gave me an opportunity to meet with other people that are as passionate about biking as I am. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. I was able to learn about bills at the federal level that will make biking better.”
What 2021 attendees had to say about our virtual program
“One might think that yet another virtual event means tired and overplayed antics. However, the Bike Summit was anything but that with its interactive platform, lower price point, and concurrent sessions.”
not only on Whova, but within each session. It really helped with the virtual aspect of things.”
LET’S BUILD OUR VISION OF BETTER BIKING TOGETHER
BY RAVEN WELLS
ENVISION A WORLD where enjoying a bicycle is impossible to no one. A life that’s better for everyone because going by bicycle is not only safe for all, but everyone recognizes the benefits of being on wheels. Imagine the next generation growing up in a nation that’s healthier, economically stronger, environmentally cleaner and more connected through people-oriented streets. Every year the League unites the voices of people like you, who know the importance of getting more people on bikes, on Capitol Hill through the National Bike Summit. In 2021, our most well-attended Summit yet, we explored bicycles as our vehicle for change. Because 2021 has presented many transformational opportunities for bicyclists to change the narrative, we want to use the next biggest gathering of bike advocates in 2022 as a time to think about how the bike movement can shape the future for the next generation. That is why in 2022, Summit attendees will convene under the theme of Choosing Our Future. To continue providing the chance for bike enthusiasts across the country to join in on the conversation, the summit will now be a hybrid event with attendees having the choice to attend in person in Washington, D.C., or online from anywhere between March 27-30, 2022. All keynote speeches, plenary sessions, and panels will be hosted online for all attendees through the virtual platform Whova. Those who can join us in person in D.C. will be able to participate in additional mobile workshops, bike rides, and other networking events. As always we will cap off the Summit with Hill Day, holding Senate meetings in person and House meetings virtually. The advocacy wins of the bike movement have always relied on the grassroots efforts of local advocates joining our efforts here in Washington to reach leaders on Capitol Hill. To continue the investments, innovations, and improvements at the federal level, we need every voice possible to be involved in the movement for better biking now and into the future.
