Join Columbus Outdoor Pursuits and Jeff Stephens from local bicycle advocacy organization "Consider Biking" to learn about the pedaling revolution in Central Ohio. Consider Biking is a valuable partner of Columbus Outdoor Pursuits, advancing the planning, engineering, and legislative initiatives that increase the safety and opportunities for bicycling. The scope of their work spans encouraging people to use bicycles as active transportation, to supporting the Safe Routes to School program for our children.
Consider Biking is hosting the Bike Columbus festival in July 2010. COP is partnering in the Festival to manage the Steve Barbour Memorial Day Ride to increase the safety on our roads. Come learn more about the nationally recognized work of Consider Biking, and the Bike Columbus Festival.
