The biennial California Bicycle Summit is the state’s most important bicycle event, and one of the nation’s leading bicycle-related conferences.
This year, CalBike will offer a series of interactive online events, in addition to the in-person California Bicycle Summit, which we have postponed to April 2022.
At three three online events between October 2021, and February 2022, you’ll get a taste of the California Bicycle Summit through informative presentations, inspiring panels, and engaging discussion with bicycle advocates, organizers, and planning professionals from across the country and world.

OCTOBER 12, 2021
Join the California Bicycle Coalition on October 12, 2021 for the first of three Advance Symposia, as we look ahead to the return of the California Bicycle Summit in April 2022.
Get a taste of the excitement, passion and intelligence of California’s bicycling advocacy movement. 90-minute sessions will feature leading thinkers and doers from around the world, starting with the experts who literally wrote the book on Cycling for Sustainable Cities.
“Cycling is a sustainable means of urban travel. It has the potential to serve many short- and medium-distance trips—for commuting to and from work and school, shopping, andvisiting friends—as well as providing recreation and exercise. Cycling promotes physical, social, and mental health, helps reduce car use, enhances mobility and independence, and is economical for both public and personal budgets. This presentation explores how to make city cycling safe, practical, and convenient for a broad spectrum of ages, genders, and abilities. Buehler and Pucher discuss the latest cycling trends and policies around the world and consider specific aspects of cycling. Based on data from 2019-2020 from cities around the world, they also review the impacts of COVID-19 on cycling levels and government policies to promote cycling. Taken together, the presentation demonstrates that successful promotion of cycling depends on a coordinated package of mutually supportive infrastructure, programs, and policies. Cycling should be made feasible for as many people as possible and not limited to especially fit, daring, well-trained cyclists riding expensive bicycles.”
