Impact Summary from the Nonprofit

<p>The League of American Bicyclists promotes and protects the rights of cyclists through advocacy, education and promotion. We do this by advocating for cyclists on Capitol Hill and in states and communities across the country. Our online advocacy center helps keep cyclists alerted to issues that affect them, and offers them a way to have a voice in how cycling is viewed by lawmakers in America. In March, we successfully held the 10th National Bike Summit, an annual advocacy meeting that brings cyclists to Capitol Hill to speak with representatives and senators. Our Bicycle Friendly America program is transforming America one business, community and state at a time. This recognition program, free to all applicants, awards Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze designations based on engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement and evaluation. Applicants have increased each year since the program began in 2003, with a 20 percent increase in communities in 2010. Although only one out of every three applicants is awarded a designation; every community, state and business that applies received specific, detailed feedback on how to improve. The League is also the home of National Bike Month and Bike to Work Week, which encourages more than 500,000 Americans to bike to work in May. We promote bicycling everywhere we can, from the New York Times to NBC Nightly News.  Our education work includes certifying more than 2,000 League Cycling Instructors nationwide to teach the League’s curricula in traffic skills, commuting, group riding, teaching children and more. These classes are offered almost every weekend across the country, and are useful for all cyclists of all skill levels. </p>
