Lots of people talking about bicycling.
On Tuesday march 23, somewhere between 230 to 250 people attended the 1st Western Wisconsin Bike Summit in La Crosse, WI. This event was organized by the Drifters Region Bicycle Coalition (DRBC) and Human Powered Trails (HPT), in coordination with the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin (BFW) and the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA). The event was aimed at raising community awareness of the benefits of bicycling.
John Burke, the president of Trek Bicycles was the keynote speaker. He generated a lot of media coverage before the event. Excitement was obvious even before the session began as many people people visited the booths set up in the lobby. These booths include informational booths from the local MPO Bike & Pedestrian committee, local organizations promoting healthier and greener communities, local bike shops and both HPT and DRBC.
