palmetto joyride
Enhancing cycling one community at a time
A three day statewide tour across South Carolina featuring author Mia Birk
Two leading South Carolina non-profits, Palmetto Conservation Foundation (PCF) and Palmetto Cycling Coalition (PCC), have joined forces to bring Portland-based bicycle transportation expert and author Mia Birk to South Carolina for a three day tour across the state. Ms. Birk will discuss programs, plans, and policies while sharing experiences and stories that inspired her success. Each city tour will include meetings with key leaders to examine state, local, and regional policies that affect non-motorized transportation initiatives and facilities. Community leaders will have the opportunity to work directly with the nation’s leading expert on bicycle planning and learn lessons and best practices. These events will offer education on creating bike-friendly communities and promote walking and cycling programs throughout the state. Each event will also include a book signing from Ms. Birk’s new groundbreaking book, Joyride: Pedaling Toward a Healthier Planet; an engaging public presentation and forum; and an opportunity to get out and bike.
