Advocates fought for years and achieved the impossible in Oakland. They should be proud to see concrete going in and the project nearing completion, because they stuck to their principles and demanded real and safe protected infrastructure.

A new bill would encourage U.S. communities to use their federal safety dollars to fill the holes in city bike networks, and honor the legacy of an American hero who lost her life in one.

Join a growing chorus and tell the city to stop gaslighting cyclists and build for safety, not parking.
