Introducing Our Newest Business Members, Planet Bike and Rails-to-Trails

Back in January, WABA introduced our business membership program. Since the launch, the business community has been amazingly supportive. A total of 14 businesses have joined as members, and we’e are excited to welcome our newest business members. Both are groups well-known for their support of biking.

Planet Bike is a bicycle accessories company located in Madison, Wisc. You likely own some Planet Bike products—it sells everything from lights to pumps to racks. A strong supporter of bicycling advocacy, Planet Bike donates 25% of their profits to improving bicycling conditions. Since 2006, they have donated over $1,000,000 to bicycling advocacy.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. 150,000 members strong, it works to build a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and to connect corridors. You might have ridden on one of the trails they helped build, from the Capital Crescent Trail to the Metropolitan Branch Trail to the Rock Creek trails.
