The 2005 National Bike Summit is coming up in a couple weeks. From the site:

Since 2001, the National Bike Summit has brought together thousands of bicyclists; industry leaders; transportation, health and environmental professionals; and local, state and federal officials; all of whom are concerned with the future of bicycling. Its relevance and success have produced numerous educational, programming and policy success stories at all levels of government. Each year, as Summit participation grows, so do the benefits and outcomes. Help play a role in making 2005 the most successful Summit to date by coming to DC in March!

If you can make it… then go! This is the way to advocate cycling, as opposed to the jackasses in Chicago. You can register at the BikeLeague.org website.
