WELCOME Dear Friends, Welcome to the 2017 Washington Bike Summit! By coming together to connect at this statewide conference, you contribute to the spirit of learning, partnership and commitment that has kept Washington the #1 Bicycle Friendly State in America for eight consecutive years! Whenever we point with pride to the #1 ranking from the League of American Bicyclists, we hasten to add that we still have far to go. Progress comes thanks to people like you, who dare to share your work and ideas, and who ask, “how can we do this better?” This year we come together to explore and celebrate the myriad places and spaces where bicycling intersects with other issues and disciplines. From social justice and public health, to economic development and education, there are many ways in which bicycling is a vehicle for improving lives. By exploring these connections, and reaching out to literally stand in someone else’s (bike) shoes, we free ourselves to reimagine how we can make our communities even safer, better places though biking. The Summit is the perfect chance to imagine and connect together! No matter if the 2017 Summit is your first or you’re returning this year to deepen your engagement and learning, we’ve designed these two days so that you’ll walk away inspired and empowered to do the work of creating a more bikefriendly Washington state. Together, we’re striving for bicycling for all!

Ian Mackay Wheelchairing Across Washington Ian Mackay is a California native who incurred a spinal cord injury riding his bicycle home from college at the age of 26. He became a C2 quadriplegic and was completely ventilator dependent for the first year after his injury. After rehab he moved to Port Angeles Washington to figure out his new paralyzed life with the support of his family. Today you can find him rolling along the Olympic Discovery Trail, enjoying a craft beer at a local brewery, birding or hosting one of several support groups he has started on the Olympic Peninsula. In 2016, Ian rode his wheelchair across the state of Washington — from his home in Port Angeles to Portland, Ore. — to raise awareness of the need for more accessible trails.

How many people actually ride bikes in Washington state? How many are commute trips vs. recreation trips?

Nuts & Bolts: Cutting Edge of Bike Facilities Pine Room
9 – 10:15 AM Best Practices for Protected Intersections Intersections can be dangerous for people on bikes if not designed for those users in mind. As cities throughout the U.S. begin building protected bike lanes, this presentation aims to share best practices for the emerging infrastructure by sharing design ideas to provide a safe and separated facility for bikes in intersections. These designs build on the principles of, and integrate seamlessly with, protected bike lanes. Peter Dane from the city of Redmond will provide an agency perspective on the process, which will include policy considerations and funding.

Active Transportation Lobby Day Join Washington Bikes for a fun and productive way of participating in the state’s legislative process! Connect with your legislators to share issues of importance to you and your community, and hear about issues they are working on. Active Transportation Lobby Day is an opportunity for Washington state legislators to learn about statewide active transportation priorities from people who walk and bike. Washington Bikes has arranged appointments throughout the day, according to legislative district. These are typically 15-minute appointments. Check the lobby registration area to find out when and where appointments with your legislators are scheduled and for detailed information on getting to the Capitol. At the Summit, Washington Bikes will share our 2017 legislative agenda and pointers for talking to your legislators.

Intersections: Where Bikes & Other Issues Converge Hemlock Room 9 - 10:15 AM Defenders of the Modern Mobility Movement: How a Software Geek and a Street Cop Kicked Bike Theft in Vancouver, BC Bike theft is a growing problem throughout the U.S.. In 2015, the Vancouver Police and Project 529 partnered to initiate an #endbiketheft campaign to reduce bike theft in Vancouver. In the first year, the program drove bike theft down for the first time in ten years in Vancouver and increased the rate of stolen bikes being returned to victims of theft. Since then, more than 15 cities, 100 bike shops and 25,000 riders in British Columbia have joined the #endbiketheft movement. This session will offer insights and research on the problem of bike theft, share the Vancouver experience as a case study for - 15 -
