You Are Invited to Portland's 1st Bike Summit on Saturday, June 17
Sam Adams
Bicycling Magazine calls Portland the number one bicycling city in all of North America - The League of American Bicyclists rates Portland "Gold" along with four other U.S. cities.
Commissioner Sam Adams and the bicycling community want to Go Platinum! No large city has the highest "Platinum" status.
On Saturday, June 17 from 8:30 to 1:30 pm, Portland area residents are invited to join neighborhood and bicycling advocates to learn how we got to be the best in the U.S. and find out about all the exciting and fun ways to get involved to make Portland a world-class bicycling city.
Three hundred participants from all corners of the bicycling and neighborhood sector are expected to attend.
In addition to the plenaries and workshops Portland Transportation will release a report on Portland's Bicycle-Related Business Activity compiled from a survey of more than 100 industry, tourism and professional businesses in Portland.
Workshop topics include:
- Portland's I Share the Road campaign
- Innovations in Bikeways Here and Abroad
- Who Put the Fun in Bike Fun? From Breakfast on the Bridges to Pedalpalooza
- New Laws for Bikes - What Strategies are on the Horizon
- Why Do People Not Ride - Really (or How to Get My Next Door Neighbor/Co-worker/Friend on a Bike).
Where: Portland State University, Smith Center, 1825 SW Broadway
When: Saturday, June 17, 2006, 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The Bike Summit will offer many opportunities for neighbors to give feedback on expanding and improving the bike network.
