Useful Bicycle Advocacy Links

• Ken Kifer's Bicycling Pages contain a wealth of practical riding, advocacy, and safety information.
• Bicycling Life has practical riding tips, safety tips, and advocacy information. A very good site.
• Walkable Communities has a variety of interesting ideas for making communities friendlier for cyclists and pedestrians--making cities for people, not just for automobiles. The site has a very interesting article on "Road Diets"--a simple an inexpensive idea that can change many roads into places that are friendlier for cyclists, pedestrians, and automobile drivers.
