CYCLING ADVOCACY

Goal -- To investigate and learn the people and processes that affect all aspects of cycling. Our premise is that cyclists are legal operators of vehicles on the roadways.

• "...promote equal road rights and safe cycling practices" -- from the CBBC Bylaws Mission Statement

Advocacy Committee -- Peter B., Chair; Members: Heather O., Harry B. (and we'd like to have you, too).

Cycling Advocacy Defined -- Learning to become involved and to speak out on issues that affect cyclists.

How You Can Help

• Participate -- join the Committee.
  
• Learn who the folks are that are in power who affect matters concerning cycling. Cultivate non-adversarial relations with them in order to influence their decisions.
