We did it! In the month of July, not only did the Washington Area Bicyclist Association reach its goal of logging 10,000 trips this July, but LACBC and BikeWalkKC both walked away with $10,000 total to make up for past months.
In July, we all logged 15,048 bike trips! Thanks to everyone logging miles, CLIF Bar, and WABA!
Continue to log your trips (up to 4 a day) at 2milechallenge.com this August, and help MassBike raise $10,000 to support bicycling in Massachusetts!
Read more about the great month that was July on the 2 Mile Challenge blog.
Congratulations to local chapter Santa Monica Spoke for being awarded a Better Bicycle Community Grant of $3,000 from Performance Bicycle and the Alliance for Biking and Walking!
To assist in the implementation of Santa Monica's newly adopted Bicycle Action Plan, Santa Monica Spoke will take the lead on grassroots community outreach. Working with community groups, neighborhood associations and merchant groups, SM Spoke will focus on two key bikeway projects: bicycle boulevards on the Michigan Avenue Neighborhood Greenway, and protected bike lanes on Broadway.
Congrats also to the nine other local advocacy organizations who are making it safer to bike across the country, and thanks to Performance Bicycle and the Alliance for Biking and Walking.

After 3 years as a successful and award-winning LACBC program addressing the needs of low-income cyclists in Los Angeles, City of Lights has branched out to form its own organization called Multicultural Communities for Mobility. Much like CicLAvia started as a sub-committee of LACBC to become the strong non-profit it is today, MCM will become its own nonprofit organization to expand its reach beyond cycling to cover transit and pedestrian issues in low-income communities of color.
We would like to thank all of the volunteers that make City of Lights/MCM what it is, especially founders Allison Mannos, Adonia Lugo, and Andy Rodriguez. We wish MCM the best of luck in continuing to provide communities of color the resources they need for their transportation needs.
You can read our press release on the LACBC blog and find more information there about MCM's upcoming fundraiser on Friday, August 10.

The Neighborhood Bike Ambassador program is a new way for LACBC members & volunteers to work on neighborhood-scale projects and organize local support for bike projects and LACBC campaigns in the City of Los Angeles.
This new LACBC initiative is to support the implementation of the City of LA bicycle master plan. Neighborhood Bike Ambassadors will work on one of 5 City of LA area committees: the Valley, South LA, the Westside, Central LA, and the Eastside/Northeast LA. Neighborhood Bike Ambassadors will meet monthly starting in early fall 2012 and each area committee will generate a set of goals to pursue over the coming months.
Learn more here and sign-up to become a Neighborhood Bike Ambassador today!
