Today we're recapping Marley’s trip to the National Bike Summit in Washington, DC, hosted by the League of American Bicyclists, including...

• a surprisingly meaningful Lobby Day meeting with Oregon representatives and staff
• how the summit’s diversity felt refreshing,
• why face-to-face advocacy can move policy
• Marley receiving the Susie Stephens Award for Joyful Enthusiasm and having an opportunity to reflect on joy as resistance and finding renewal through cycling.
• All Bodies on Bikes’ Spark Grant–funded size inclusion retailer training, and our hopes to scale it virtually.
