The Equity Cycle: How Biking Advances Mobility, Economy, and Health
Biking is more than just an alternative mode of transportation—it’s a key driver of equity, economic resilience, and public health. This session will explore how expanding access to bicycling can break down barriers to mobility, support local communities, and improve well-being. International leaders will share some of the programs, policies, and initiatives that have successfully encouraged biking in their respective countries. Join us for an engaging discussion on how two wheels can pave the way for a more just and healthy future.
