ABOUT THIS SESSION

NICA coaches and league directors play a powerful role in shaping the future of biking in their communities. This virtual training, hosted by PeopleForBikes, will equip you with the tools and strategies to help the NICA community, including young athletes and their families, become effective advocates for safe, connected, and accessible places to ride.

Drawing on years of experience investing in bike advocacy nationwide, this session is designed to set you up for success in supporting grassroots efforts that can transform passion for biking into lasting change. You’ll learn practical ways to speak up for bike projects that matter— projects that can make a difference in lives and strengthen the fabric of communities— and how to use PeopleForBikes’ tools and resources along the way.
