*********

Northern Ohio’s bicycle groups organized Cleveland Bicycle Week events and forums in 2008 and 2009.

The idea is to promote cycling during National Bike Month by hosting fun and educational activities. In 2008, Bike Week included a one-day conference for government officials, health and wellness agencies, the media and other interested parties. Other events included:

• Week-long, Bike-to-Work rides with fun and educational activities
• Entertainment and social activities, including movies and bike art, for cyclists and the whole family
• Information sessions for planners and engineers
• Gathering information to identify priorities and a cycling agenda
• Highlighting and promoting interesting cycling and relates activities in Northeast Ohio (could include pedestrian and other green initiatives)
• Awarding and acknowledging progress in the region
• An address by Andy Clarke, executive director of the League of American Bicyclists
