Organizations We Love: People for Bikes

Daily bike use is on the rise.  Biking is no longer just a luxury and a sport, but a necessity in many urban cities.  People for Bikes is doing an excellent job of making biking more convenient for everyone.  Whether it is for recreation, or you want to create and enforce protected bike lanes in your city, People for Bikes contains resources that can help you.

Created in 1999 as Bikes Belong, People for Bikes has now become a center for the biking community.  Our favorite feature on the website is the “Get Local” section.  In this space you can look at individual states and find a comprehensive list of biking resources in the state.  Project Kinect LOVES this because it brings people together with technology.

We leave you with this fantastic video that advocates for protected bike lanes.  Enjoy!
