When We Say Everyone, We Mean Everyone

We want an inclusive, vibrant community where biking and walking for transportation is a normal, everyday part of life for as many people as possible.

This is why we advocate for AAA (All Ages and Abilities) when it comes to bike infrastructure. That means our streets are built for the safety and comfort of everyone.

When we say everyone – we mean everyone.

Safety is our top priority. This means our streets should be more than safe, they should feel comfortable.

When we say all ages – we mean ALL ages. If you are old enough to ride a bike and young enough to do so comfortably, you should feel welcome on our streets. This approach is also known as 8-80, meaning a bike lane should be safe and comfortable for an 8-year-old or an 80-year-old.

When we say all abilities – we mean ALL abilities. If it’s your first time on a bike or you haven’t ridden in years, you should feel welcome on our streets. This also goes beyond bikes and should apply to people who use wheelchairs and other mobility aids.

But, our vision of inclusion goes beyond just age and ability. We want a world where the makeup of the people on bikes in our community represents the richness and diversity of our community.

Our streets belong to everyone and they should be built for everyone.

When we say everyone – we mean everyone.

We want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season and look forward to seeing you in 2020!
