Provide Your Input for our Forthcoming Club Resource Guide


Last week you likely saw our message announcing our forthcoming Club Resource Guide. Please help us make this guide a resource that clubs like yours can rely upon for years to come.

This project begins with our Club Leadership Survey, here!

Next, if you have a resource you'd like to share directly, please reach out to our intern, Lauren Lopez at llopez@bikeleague.org. We're looking for good examples of ride leader training, volunteer recruiting, board governance, and much more. Please consider 'paying it forward' to clubs around the country by sharing resources, collectively.

Stay tuned for more details on this exciting new work with special thanks to SRAM.

I Bike I Vote! Our Fall Member Drive Continues Through Oct 31st!
+Special incentive for bike clubs!

Our Fall Member Drive rolls on through October 31st. This year is absolutely critical for the future of transportation in this country and we need your help now more than ever. The Congress we elect in November will write the next Transportation Bill that will determine our national priorities for the next five years. The League works on both sides of the aisle here in Washington, and we need your support to represent all who ride, regardless of their congressional district.

The League is the 'Big Tent' advocacy group for riders of all types. To maintain a powerful voice for change on Capitol Hill, we need as many riders as possible to take a step forward and claim membership with the League. During this campaign, all new and returning members will ride away with our new 'I Bike I Vote' t-shirt, and one lucky winner will be sent a new Brompton C-Line Folding Bike!

As a special incentive to our member bike clubs, we've added a bike club referral field on the membership form. The club with the most referrals will win two $500 BikeFlights travel vouchers + bike boxes, courtesy of our friends at BikeFlights!

We're including a variety of assets to help you promote the League's Fall Member Drive, including sample social media posts and images. Join us by visiting www.bikeleague.org/memberdrive. If you have questions, please reach out to me at kevin@bikeleague.org
