A key theme of LaHood’s remarks was that he and President Obama will work hard help make communities nicer places to walk and bike. LaHood said that he and Obama, “Will work toward an America where bikes are recognized to coexist with other modes and to safely share our roads and bridges.”

Just a tidbit of the great information coming out of the National Bike Summit this year. I highly recommend Bike Portland’s coverage of the event. It’s thorough and full of signs that cycling has finally made it as a serious transportation issue.

Must read if you’re a policy geek, and cause for optimism for all cyclists.
