BikeTexas Cyclists in Suits - Texas Bike Lobby Day is a biennial event held during the Texas Legislature's regular sessions. It is great opportunity for Texas cyclists to share their love of cycling with their state legislators. The goal is to have cyclists from every legislative district in Texas visit the capitol with our staff and remind the legislature that we are voters and we want them to represent our cycling interests.
