Call for Proposals: Present at the 2013 National Bike Summit
We need your knowledge and expertise to show Congress and the nation that Bicycling Means Business. We’re looking for the very best speakers to present their insight and expertise at the 2013 National Bike Summit.
This year we’re looking for presentations on the following themes:
- Making the economic case for bicycling
- MAP-21 Implementation: Lessons learned
- Making cycling relevant in rural, small town and suburban communities
- Developing an effective strategy for the NEXT transportation bill
We’re also accepting proposals for sessions at the Women Mean Business event, hosted by the League’s new Women Bike program, on March 4 — immediately preceding the start of the Summit.
The Summit has a unique blend of participants from the bicycle advocacy community, the industry, and a wide variety of partners in health, environmental, transportation, and safety organizations. We’re looking for submissions that…
- are relevant to bicycle retailers, elected officials and advocates at the federal, state and local levels
- address equity and diversity in content and speakers
- are creative — thinking outside the box of boring Powerpoints and formulaic panel discussions
If you’re interested in presenting at the 2013 National Bike Summit, please complete this short online application by December 13.

I would like to provide a synopsis of my bicycling experiences in 2012 in:
1. Morehead City, NC and eastern North Carolina in January.
2. Bicycling in New York, across the Verazzano Narrows Bridge and on the Staten Island Expressway in March.
3. Bicycling from Morehead City, NC to Harrisburg, PA and working for a bicycle Taxi Company in Harrisburg at the beginning of “Bicycle to Work Week” and for the summer.
4. Bicyling from Harrisburg, PA to Richmond, VA over Labor Day weekend.
5. Peddling a Rhoades Car 200 miles from Oxford to Bowling Green, OH in late September.
6. Peddling the Rhoades Car in Morehead City, NC and being required to drive it on the sidewalk in Morehead City and to the right of the white line marking the edge of the road by North Carolina DMV inspectors and State Troopers and how their requirements are making motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians less safe.
7. How to file restraining orders against municipalities and states when they make the public less safe.
