Youth Bike Summit: five reasons not to miss it!

The Youth Bike Summit starts tomorrow!

Join us and pro-bike folks from all around the country for a weekend full of new relationships, ideas and inspiration.

Here’s five reasons why you shouldn’t miss it:

  1. YOLO*. This is the first time Seattle is hosting the Youth Bike Summit–who knows when it will be back!
  2. Change the world. Take it from UW freshman and keynote speaker, Brook Neggussie, and attend YBS because, “bikes are one of the only ways we are actually going to change the world.”
  3. Get inspired. “If you’re young, go to get inspired by the work your peers are doing and share your own stories,” urges Liz Johnson, 2014 YBS participant.
  4. Support the youth. No longer consider yourself a “youth”? Attend, listen up and help tomorrow’s leaders achieve their goals.
  5. Rub elbows. And more importantly, rub minds with bike leaders from Momentum Magazine, League of American Bicyclists, Mountain2Mountain, Bike Works and of course, Cascade Bicycle Club!

Program highlights include youth bike curriculum; advocacy, fundraising and leadership workshops; as well as guest speakers and a community visioning session. We hope you will take advantage of this unique opportunity for young and old to come together and learn from each other.

Don’t forget to invite your friends, teachers, kids, neighbors and local librarians, too!
