The League of Michigan Bicyclists (LMB) is a statewide 501(c)(3) non-profit membership organization. Our mission is to improve life through bicycling. ADVOCACY
LMB is a key resource for legislators and other policymakers. LMB works to defend the rights of bicyclists and to advance policies that benefit Michigan cyclists. Annually, LMB hosts Bicycle Advocacy Day at the State Capitol. LMB staff and
volunteers regularly represent the interests of Michigan bicyclists at public hearings and committees at all levels of state and local government. Visit: http://www.lmb.org/advocacy for more on advocacy efforts. EDUCATION
Education plays a key role in improving conditions for bicycling. LMB seeks to educate bicyclists, motorists, engineers, and law enforcement personnel. These efforts include developing materials like our What Every Michigan Bicyclist Must Know and What Every Young Michigan Bicyclist Must Know booklets, which are distributed to bike clubs and shops, police departments, libraries, organizations, and anyone interested in promoting safe bicycling. LMB also develops and distributes training materials for law enforcement, parents, bicycle commuters, and those interested in running bike rodeos. LMB supports Safe Routes to School in Michigan and serves on the Governor’s Traffic Safety Advisory Commission Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Team, the Michigan Complete Streets Advisory Council, Healthy Kids Healthy Michigan Coalition, and works with other like-minded groups focused on advancing bicycle safety. TOURS
LMB Bicycle Tours – from weekend family rides to week-long fully supported tours – show that bicycle touring is a healthy, easy, and fun way to experience Michigan. Tour proceeds are a major funding source for LMB’s many programs to make Michigan a more bicycling-friendly state. Learn more at www.LMB.org/tours. PUBLICATIONS & NEWS
