The call for proposals is now open for the third annual NC Bike Summit which will be hosted in Greensboro, North Carolina October 9-12, 2014.
The mission of the NC Bike Summit is to:
- foster collaboration between North Carolina’s various bicycle movements,
efforts, and endeavors; - educate local government staff, bicycle advocates, and policy leaders;
- promote cycling as a valid form of transportation and as an economic driver; and
- highlight North Carolina’s dedication toward becoming a premier bicycle friendly state.
This year’s theme – Pedal Forward – is meant to inspire presenters to be forward thinking and aspirational.
The Summit will focus on the five pillars of the North Carolina Statewide BiPed Plan:
- Mobility
- Safety
- Health
- Economics
- Environment
Presentations will be organized into four tracks:
- Advocacy
- Community and University Bike Programs
- Economic Development
