"We want to make sure that we represent and think about
the people that are not here, and those are people who
are poor and that ride bicycles because they have no
other means of transportation. They're the ones who take
the brunt of crashes, accidents, they're riding without
helmets, they're often riding in places where we have not
gotten yet with planning, keeping them safe. You're here
because we're part of a much much bigger movement to
ensure that everyone who rides a bicycle and who walks,
walks and rides safely and confidently."
-Karen Jenkins
"The three principles that have really helped me in my
work are: understanding the systems you're trying to
change, creating a clear path to making change happen,
and engaging an ever-widening circle of people in
understanding your vision and helping you make that
change happen."
-Barbara McCann
"Education is a way of being an advocate. If an individual
can actually get on a bike then they can also talk about
their needs as a person who's riding."
-Nedra Deadwyler
"We need to be talking about the joy. The bike is
healthy, it's cheap, it's environmentally friendly,
it helps to build great neighboods-nobody
goes biking for those reasons. Why do we keep
biking? We keep biking because it's either the
way I want to do it or it's the best way to do it.
In Philadelphia, you get to the point where the
bike is the fastest-if it's not raining cats and
dogs, it's the best way to get to where you want
to go."
-Alex Doty
