On March 4-6, 2008, the League of American Bicyclists hosted their annual National Bike Summit.

In addition, Neal Peirce, a nationally syndicated columnist, wrote a column on the summit and the growing interest by various levels of government in encouraging bicycling, please click here for the article.
