The Youth Bike Summit brings a three-day conference thriving in the varied intersections of youth, bikes, education, advocacy, and leadership to your backyard. We encourage you get rolling and sign up today!
Clear your schedules. The 2017 Youth Bike Summit is rolling into town this October 6-8! Hundreds of attendees from around the country will converge in Arlington to explore how bicycling can be a catalyst for positive social change.
The three-day conference thrives in the varied intersections of youth, bikes, education, advocacy, and leadership. Each year, people of varying ages, disciplines, and backgrounds gather together to learn, share, network, and discover the power of the bicycle. And this year, it’s in our backyard.
Why participate? Here are our top three reasons to register for the Youth Bike Summit today.
The Sessions
From knowledge-sharing keynote speakers to hands-on workshops and panel presentations—many led by youth, you can explore the amazing depth of what biking means for youth, families, communities, and our planet.
There are a ton of excellent sessions, but a few that have us curious include:
- Decriminalizing Youth on Bikes – BYKE Collective (MD)
- Ride Hard, Have Fun & Don’t Be a Jerk: The Importance of Team Culture in Cycling – District Taco Racing and Phoenix Bikes (VA)
- Bikes as Business: Achieving Your Entrepreneurial Vision – Arlington Chamber of Commerce & local entrepreneurs on wheels (DC & VA)
