Dear Texas Cyclist,

We want to let you know about the following annual and bi-annual opportunities to directly engage in bicycle advocacy, safety, access and education. Please consider attending these events and let your elected representatives and your communities know their constituents are concerned about cycling. It’s important for Texas that you make your voice heard about the need for a safe bicycling environment. Please encourage your club or business to sponsor individuals to attend to represent cycling interests from your region:

BikeTexas Cyclists in Suits

Texas Bicycle Coalition / BikeTexas
Austin, Texas
Bi-Annual Event
BikeTexas Cyclists in Suits – Bike Lobby Day is an opportunity for Texas Cyclists to share their love of cycling with state legislators. The goal is to have cyclists from every legislative district in Texas visit the capitol and show the legislature that cyclists are voters and we want them to represent our interests.

National Bike Summit

League of American Bicyclists (LAB)
International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA)
Annual Summit
Washington, DC
“Since 2001, the National Bike Summit® has brought together thousands of bicyclists; industry leaders; transportation, health and environmental professionals; and local, state and federal officials; all of whom are concerned with the future of bicycling. Its relevance and success have produced numerous educational, programming and policy success stories at all levels of government. Each year, as Summit participation grows, so do the benefits and outcomes.” – League of American Bicyclists

IMBA World Summit

International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA)
Annual Summit
“IMBA World Summits bring mountain biking advocates, land managers, ski resort professionals, trailbuilders, park and urban planners, tourism officials and the bike industry together for collaboration, planning, and celebration.” – IMBA

Texas Trails Conference

Texas Trails Network (TTN)
Annual Conference & Exhibit
Locations Vary
“The nonprofit group, Texas Trails Network, regularly organizes a statewide trails conference each year somewhere in Texas, featuring creative workshops, exhibits and hands-on learning sessions for trail planners, designers, programmers, advocates, vendors and users. Subjects range from rural and urban pedestrian facilities, bicycling, equestrian, paddling, motorized and multi-purpose trails, along with impacts on health, wellness, land values, eco-tourism and the environment. These conferences help keep trail networking in Texas current and relevant. To register or for conference details, please visit www.TexasTrails.org. Texas Trails Network, founded in 1993, is a 501(c )(3) non-profit organization established to promote quality development and management of trails; provide a forum to address concerns related to trail acquisition, development, management, and user conflicts; and to promote the development of a statewide trails system network.”. – TTN

Bi-Annual Conference
“The National Center for Bicycling & Walking’s Pro Walk/Pro Bike biennial conference series typically attracts an international gathering of more than 600 bicycle and pedestrian program specialists, advocates, and government leaders committed to improving conditions for bicycling and walking. Conference participants include federal, state and local agency staff; engineers; planners; transportation officials; educators; public health specialists, park and recreation managers; and advocates who range from executives of international organizations to lay people with an interest in improving the quality of life and health in their community.” – ProWalk ProBike
