New York Coalition News

The New York Bicycling Coalition
NYBC’s Mission is to provide a coherent, credible voice for the interests of all bicyclists in the state, on­or off­road, recreational or racer. We achieve this by working with existing cycling clubs in New York and interested individuals.
Goals of the New York Bicycling Coalition

1. To encourage the use of bicycles for transporta­tion, sport and recreation.
   
   
2. To serve as a focal point for the network of clubs and other bicycle and pedestrian related organi­zations throughout the state.
   
   
3. To foster among the general public a favorable opinion of bicycling.
   
   
4. To assure highway, street, and transit facilities are amenable to bicyclists, pedestrians and other non­motorized users.
   
   
5. To promote bicycle and pedestrian safety through education of motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists of all ages.
   
   
6. To monitor government activities affecting bicy­cling, safety health, transit, tourism and infra­structure programs.
   
   
7. To seek and advise on legislation improving cy­cling and pedestrian conditions across New York State.
   
   
8. To facilitate the exchange of information on bi­cycle safety and bicycling in general.
