About Bikes Belong

Through national leadership, grassroots grants, and promotion, Bikes Belong works to make bicycling safe, convenient, and fun. Manufacturers, distributors, retailers and individuals who sell bicycle-related products or services are eligible for membership in Bikes Belong Coalition.

The Bikes Belong Coalition has four strategies to put more people on bicycles more often:

  1. Lobbying for bicycle-friendly policies in Washington, D.C.
  2. Awarding grants for bicycle facility projects
  3. Supporting national groups who are performing innovative leadership
     work that promotes bicycling
  4. Promoting bicycling as a safe, convenient, healthy activity for
     families and people of all ages

Bikes Belong led the effort to maximize federal funding for bicycle facilities in the 2005 federal transportation law, SAFETEA-LU. Bikes Belong members invested $1 million in a lobbying effort that gained $4.5 billion for bicycling and walking-$2 billion more than the previous law. This victory is a testament to the power of the bicycle industry when we work together toward a common goal. For additional information, please visit http://www.bikesbelong.org/.
