As a nonprofit organization, Adventure Cycling Association helps people discover the world by bike. We started in 1976 as Bikecentennial and have grown into the premier bicycle-travel organization in North America, with more than 50 years of experience. We continue to create new routes and update our classic ones, publish Adventure Cyclist magazine, and lead guided tours.

PeopleForBikes is uniting millions of individuals, thousands of businesses and hundreds of communities to make bike riding better for everyone. To learn more about PeopleForBikes and join, visit PeopleForBikes.org. Our playbook includes three simple strategies: Through our PlacesForBikes program we help communities quickly build better places to ride of all types. Our Community Grants Program provides financial support for some of these projects. Our Bike Network Analysis tool helps cities and towns identify and correct weak spots in their bike networks. Our first City Ratings program (going public in May) and our acclaimed PlacesForBikes Conference clearly show city leaders where their communities stand on bicycling, and help them improve quickly. We work with federal, state and local leaders to advance bike project funding and pro-bike laws. We develop Congressional champions. We monitor all 50 state legislatures and support the work of state and local advocacy groups. Our business members and individual backers speak up for bike riding in communities nationwide. As a result, government agencies have invested nearly $20 billion to build thousands of miles of new U.S. lanes, paths and trails in the last 20 years. We explain how people and places benefit from safe, accessible, convenient and fun bike rides. We research, measure and quantify the many positive outcomes of bicycling. We share best practices and success stories. When PeopleForBikes is successful, you enjoy good bike riding experiences and great things follow. People become healthier and happier, communities become better places to live, mobility improves, jobs are created and sustained, and businesses thrive. Everyone wins!

The non-profit Active Transportation Alliance advocates for walking, bicycling and public transit to creat healthy, sustainable, equitable communities. Under the banner of the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation, the organization worked for nearly 25 years to secure huge wins for bicycling. In November 2008, the organization expanded its mission to include pedestrian and transit advocacy in its work and, as a result, changed its name to the Active Transportation Alliance The Active Transportation Alliance is North America’s largest bicycling and pedestrian advocacy organization. In the next 20 years, we will build a movement. As part of our 20-Year Vision, we are working to create a region with a 50 percent reduction in all crashes and where 50 percent of the population walks, bikes and takes mass transit.
