Hi Friend,
I'm recently back from the National Bike Summit and still feeling excited about the opportunities to bring ideas from other communities to our work here in Durham, and to collaborate more closely with organizations around the country to protect the infrastructure we have and to ramp up the investments in safe streets and great transit to build places where everyone can thrive.
Success will take organizing and we are excited to launch our inaugural Change Agent Training Series next month. Below you'll also find other opportunities to act at the local, state, and national levels.
Bike Month is in May and the Bull City Bike Stampede will by on Saturday, May 9, but tomorrow is the last day that you can pre-register to order the Throwback Bike Durham t-shirt. Don't miss it!
