Arlington Bike Culture Forum
A true bicycle friendly community includes a culture where biking is considered, facilitated and promoted at all levels. It is not the result of the work of any one department and requires constant collaboration among many groups and individuals. The Arlington Bike Culture Forum exists to harness the energy, ideas and passion that surrounds bikes as sustainable transportation and spread it throughout the County.
Who: A group of representatives from a broad spectrum of Arlington organizations, departments, businesses and agencies
Why: To foster partnerships and coordination related to improving conditions for cycling in Arlington and nurturing a premier bicycle friendly community.
How: The group meets quarterly to share ideas and coordinate next steps, but more importantly, the representatives convey the philosophies and passions of the forum and it’s Charter back to their respective groups and their everyday work.
