General Info

Peopleforbikes.org is a movement created by the Bikes Belong Foundation – the national nonprofit focused on bicycling safety and children's bike programs. The goal of peopleforbikes.org is to unite one million voices to improve bicycling in the United States by asking people to sign a pledge in support of biking. Peopleforbikes.org aims to make our country a better place to ride by sending a unified message to our elected leaders, the media, and the public that bicycling is important and should be promoted.

More than 150,000 people, including Lance Armstrong, Gary Fisher, and bike-friendly Minneapolis mayor R.T. Rybak have already signed the pledge since the campaign's launch last spring. Please take a moment to visit the website and add your name today. It is quick, easy, and free, and it will help the future of biking. All they need is your name:
www.peopleforbikes.org.

Whatever your background, whatever your bike, and wherever you ride – everyone has a stake in building more bike lanes and trails, securing more funding, and influencing local and national policies to better support bicycling. Please sign the pledge today, and share peopleforbikes.org with your fellow riders.

We have nearly 400 members—bicycle suppliers and retailers combining resources to improve bicycling in America. Based in Boulder, Colorado, we have 12 professional staff, 18 volunteer directors, and a $2 million annual operating budget.

The NBDA is a non-profit association promoting the interests of every specialty bicycle retailer in the United States. Each dollar raised goes towards funding member programs, and every program is approved by an active, elected volunteer board of directors comprised of specialty bicycle retailers.

The League of American Bicyclists represents the interests of the nation's 57 million cyclists. With a current membership of 300,000 affiliated cyclists, including 40,000 individuals and 600 affiliated organizations, the League works to bring better bicycling to your community.

The League was founded as the League of American Wheelmen in 1880. Bicyclists, known then as "wheelmen", were challenged by rutted roads of gravel and dirt and faced antagonism from horsemen, wagon drivers, and pedestrians.

In an effort to improve riding conditions so they might better enjoy their newly discovered sport, more than 100,000 cyclists from across the United States joined the League to advocate for paved roads. The success of the League in its first advocacy efforts ultimately led to our national highway system.

The Bicycle Ride Directors' Association of America (BRDAA) was founded in 1987 by a small group of professional bicycle event promoters in Whittier, California. The goals of the Association are to foster cooperation among recreational ride promoters, offer an affordable and proper insurance program and provide a forum for the exchange of information and experience among the membership. BRDAA maintains a master calendar of events to avoid conflicting dates and to provide efficient scheduling of member events.
