Bicycle Colorado recognized at National Bike Summit

At the National Bike Summit on March 5, Bicycle Colorado received the National Bicycle Leadership Award from the League of American Bicyclists for our work helping to open streets to bicycling in Black Hawk.

Scott Christopher, Amy Morfas and Dan Grunig are leading a delegation of Colorado bicycling advocates at this week’s summit in Washington, DC.

In addition to three dozen bicycling delegates from Colorado, our staff is visiting with each of Colorado’s two senators and seven representatives or their staff members during the summit. They’ll focus discussions on federal transportation funding for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, safety and Safe Routes to School projects.

Bicycle Colorado’s mission includes providing a unified voice for Colorado bicyclists to our elected officials, both statewide and nationally.
