alliance for biking and walking

What individuals, organizations and businesses made your community a better place to bike and walk in 2011?

Make sure they're recognized for their important and inspiring work by nominating them for an Alliance Advocacy Award.

Since 2009, the Alliance has honored excellence in biking and walking, giving the leaders and supporters of our People Powered Movement the spotlight they deserve for their tireless efforts.

With more than $8,000 in prizes for the winning entries, the Alliance for Biking & Walking invites professional, amateur and advocate photographers to submit their best images of biking and walking to the 2011 People Powered Movement Photo Contest.

The contest aims to both celebrate the beauty and energy of active transportation and continue to build an online library of high-quality images that can be used by bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organizations across North America.

A team of SVBC staff and board members will head to Washington D.C. next week to participate in the 2010 National Bike Summit. This year’s Summit marks ten years of cycling advocates from across the nation meeting to learn, share, and advocate in the nation’s capital. While in D.C., attendees will participate in workshops designed to unify our message on issues affecting the bicycling community, in preparation for a series of meetings with Congressional representatives and their staff.
