About the Iowa Bicycle Coalition
The Iowa Bicycle Coalition is an exciting organization
working to promote Iowa cycling as safe and enjoyable recreation and
transportation. The 501(c)(3) non-profit group was launched by bicycling advocates from
across Iowa and will unite the voices of road riders, mountain bikers,
recreation riders, commuters, and anyone else who prefers a bicycle for
recreation and transportation.
The Coalition is bringing
change to how kids get to school with the Safe Routes To School
Program. Coalition staff provide training and support to schools
state-wide on encouragement and education programs that help increase
bicycling and walking.
The
Coalition provides an annual education conference geared towards
transportation officials by bringing in a national expert to present on
bicycle facility design. The conference also provides sessions
for the grassroots advocate to ask for better cycling facilities in
their communities.
The Coalition
works towards improving the safety of cyclists through safety
education, community improvement, and encouragement activities.
Our safety education program is based upon the national League of
American Bicyclists' curriculum. We work for implementation of
complete streets. We foster encouragement activities such as Bike
To Work Week.
Anyone with an interest in Iowa bicycling can join the Iowa
Bicycle Coalition. Membership in the Iowa Bicycle Coalition gives you a voice
to determine the quality of bicycling in Iowa. There are countless volunteer
opportunities that will make an impact on cycling in Iowa and in your own
community.
