Advocacy

Bicycle advocacy is an important aspect for us cyclists.  Getting involved with a group can help turn your neighborhood from an okay place to ride to a great, safe place to ride.  I’ve created this list of cycling groups so that you can find one near you and get involved.  Shoot me an email if you know of one that I’ve missed.

For now, I have this list focused on groups in the United States.  If there is interest in expanding this list, let me know!
