Thanks @CIBAride for inviting me to the speakers series! @bikeleague and you have been riding together for more than 40years. Here’s to many more! (Photo - Hilly Hundred 1978)
This is the last CIBA Speaker Series presentation of the season. Thanks to Joe Hettle for all his scheduling work and, as always, to @indylibrary for hosting us.
Electric-assist bikes get more people on bikes and that is a goal for the League. But proposing standards will help set the direction quicker for everyone. -@BillNesper
LAB doesn’t have a policy on ebikes, yet. Overwhelmingly, members feel pedal-assist bikes are bikes, but as they move to less bike-like attributes, they aren’t. LAB needs to set a standard and communicate that. - @BillNesper
State and local advocacy groups need your support, as does the League of American Bicyclists. Give of your time and treasures to help them help us! - @BillNesper
Bicycle Friendly Communites are where people want to live, work, and visit. As you move up the award levels, health outcomes improves for residents. - @BillNesper
https://t.co/u10uZVoJRz is a wealth of great and useful information. Lots of state ranking information. Indiana can do better (#38), but we like a challenge and good things are happening! - @BillNesper
We have to lead with our love for community and people. Keep riding and keep inviting others in. Cyclists aren’t special interest. We want things that are shared goals for the public good. - @BillNesper
Yes, @BillNesper is presenting at the CIBA Speaker Series tonight. He says he was a little intimidated when he learned his good friend, @advcyclingassoc’s Jim Sayer, had already presented here. No worries! Bill is rocking it!
League of American Bicyclists Executive Director, @BillNesper, talking about what it takes to make a Bicycle Friendly America - open to ALL! Best advocacy we can do is invite people in.
