Through education, advocacy and promotion, we work to celebrate and preserve the freedom cycling brings to our members everywhere.\n \nBicycling brings people together.\nWhen more people ride bikes:\n     Life is better for everyone; \n     Communities are safer, stronger and better connected; \n     Our nation is healthier, economically stronger, environmentally cleaner and \n     more energy independent.\nIn this conversation, John and Bill dive deep into the great work the League is involved with and we get to learn a bit about Bill's own journey along the way.\n Additional Helpful Links:\nBicycle Friendly America\nNational Bike Summit\nSafe Cycling Education Program\nHappy City Book by Charles Montgomery\nEco Counter\nIt Could Be Me\nVision Zero Network\n\nThinkBike Workshop\n\nDutch Cycling Embassy\n\nFour Easy Steps to Support My Efforts:\n1.
