Biking the Suburbs Conference: 2/12 Conshohocken, PA
Thanks Josh!

This weekend, the Bicycle Coalition of Philadelphia is organizing the Biking the Suburbs conference to bring together cyclists who reside or work in Delaware, Chester, Montgomery and Bucks counties and want to be better informed on how to advocate for improved bicycling facilities and policies in their boroughs, towns or at the county level.

PA Walks & Bikes will be there giving a state policy perspective and talking about the Pennsylvania Safe Routes to School State Network. If you are interested in these areas, visit
http://www.pawalksandbikes.org/safe-routes-to-school/.

If you’re from this part of the state, this event will put you in touch with a network of cyclists interested in making our communities better places to ride.

Register now, and join the conversation.

"According to AAA, Americans spend on average $8,485 each year on their cars. Seems like a lot of money, doesn't it? And most of that money leaves your local economy. What if you were able to get rid of a car and spend -- or invest -- that money in your community? What if 15,000 people decided to make that same decision? ..."

"What makes a city intelligent? You do."
