We Fund National Conferences and Events

Bikes Belong carefully selects important national conferences and events to sponsor. We focus on strategic gatherings that:

  • Share best practices in bicycle business and advocacy
  • Focus on ways to get more people riding bikes
  • Mobilize efforts to make sure bike money authorized by Congress is spent efficiently with the involvement of local experts from the bicycling community
