OUR MISSION
To create a bicycle-friendly America for Everyone improving lives and strengthening communities through bicycling.
OUR VISION
We envision a nation where everyone whether they bike or not recognizes and enjoys the many benefits and opportunities of bicycling and where everyone can experience the joy of bicycling.
WHAT WE DO
The League has been protecting your rights to safe and enjoyable bicycling since 1880.
What started as a movement by Wheelmen to get the first roads paved so people on bikes could more safely and easily traverse their communities continues today as the League of American Bicyclists an organization dedicated to building a Bicycle Friendly America for everyone.
Through our federal advocacy in Washington DC to our policy recommendations used by advocates at the state and local level to our premier education programs the League helps build better places for people to bike and empowers changemakers to make biking better in their communities.
Bicycling is good for people our communities our country and our world.
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to bike for transportation good health and the pure joy and freedom it brings. Over the last 100 years our communities and transportation system have been developed and designed primarily for automobiles which has prioritized vehicle road space and speed over peoples safety and ability to get around without a car.
In communities all across our country people who bike have been treated as if they dont belong on our streets. For children and parents riding a bike to school seems impossible. Too often bikes are viewed as toys or a niche activity for select groups rather than how bikes should be seen: as an essential tool in building a better life for everyone.
We think bicycling should be commonplace an everyday part of life. To do that were making biking an easier option for more people because when more people bike more people benefit even those who dont bike. Removing barriers to bicycling must be a national priority.
