Barriers to bicycle travel are eliminated.
CURRENT CAMPAIGNS
Creating Bike Routes for America
One of the purposes of "Creating Bike Routes for America" is to create a grid of bicycle routes across the nation in order to:
• provide the foundation of an alternative transportation network for bicycle travel and bicycling generally.
• connect communities nationwide through bicycle route signage and map creation.
• encourage heritage, cultural, and adventure tourism opportunities for cyclists and communities.
Our goals for this campaign include:
• Establishing an official U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS), in partnership with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation, national and state agencies, and non-profit organizations.
• Building a coalition of support for bicycle routes at the local, state and national levels with civic groups, other nonprofits, clubs, businesses, state and federal agencies, and other appropriate groups.
• Create awareness of the USBRS and Adventure Cycling’s Route Network by signing and mapping a growing national network of bike routes.
Getting More People Traveling by Bicycle
The main purpose of "Getting More People Traveling by Bicycle" is simple: to create opportunities for bicyclists to network, improve skills, and gain confidence in their abilities so that they can enjoy cycle-touring for fitness, fun, and adventure.
Supporting Bicycling Communities
A major goal of the "Supporting Bicycling Communities" campaign is to promote bicycle travel by participation in advocacy efforts in a coalition setting. We will provide leadership in advocating for better conditions and services for bicycle travelers. One of the truly fun objectives of this campaign will be to create an awards program to recognize innovation, service, and commitment to bicycle travel.
