NEWS from IBC:
Bicycle Friendly Won't Happen Without
You!
The time for frank talk and concerted action is
NOW! Indiana has fallen
five places in the 2009 Bicycle Friendly State ranking by the
League of American Bicyclists. We are now in the bottom half of
all 50 states. Most alarming is the fact that Indiana ranks 42nd
in Infrastructure (only five states are ranked below Indiana).
"Bicycle Indiana is very concerned about our state's ranking as
a bicycle-friendly state. We're calling a summit to address this
issue and asking bicyclists to join us and be part of the
solution," Nancy Tibbett, Executive Director, Bicycle Indiana.
If you find this situation unacceptable, and you are one of the
many who want to do something about it, join us on October 17th
for the Indiana Bicycle Summit '09 presented by Bicycle Indiana,
Marian College, and Indiana Bicycle Summit Honorary Chair
Indiana Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman.
