This Saturday is People’s Climate March! Here’s a roundup on how to show up by bike, and show up *for* bikes!

We’re hosting a Climate Ride Meet and Greet this Wednesday from 6-8pm. Here are the five reasons why you should join!

I tried to capture the spirit of biking in our region. And by extension, how important bike advocacy work is to ensuring greater joy. In all seasons. In all parts of the region. By all types of people. On all types of bikes.

2016 was a big year for little WABA. This year your support helped us: double our adult learn to ride classes, Host our second BikeCamp! where campers biked, volunteered, and adventured around DC …

Visit WABA and enjoy three days of national and local artists, local marching bands, workshops, bike valet, beer gardens, s’mores, screen printing, climbing walls, and more!

Come get greasy with REI staff and learn cable tensioning, changing brake pads, replacing chains, and smooth shifting and braking.

We are a coalition of people—a collection of volunteers, businesses, community groups, churches, decision-makers, bike shops and more than 6,500 residents who all believe in the simple notion that biking can be a good way to get around town. And that it must get better.

We wanted to tell you about the award-winning programs you support (some of which have been replicated across the country and world).

Check out a photo recap and the long list of celebrity bartenders who helped make yesterday a blast!

What do a spin studio, a house show, and a micro-brewery all have in common? They’re all supporting WABA this weekend!

Thanks to the tech heroes over at #DCFemTech, WABA had the help of mappers, designers, developers, and CSS champions working to build two new advocacy tools.

Ride for the issues you care about, ride to make bicycling better in your backyard!

An update from our partners at DC Bike Ride:

We can change the way roads are built, the way people move, and the way the law treats bicyclists, but not without you!

On September, 12th 2015 you helped revolutionize biking for generations to come. Let’s grab that momentum by the handlbars and keep pedaling.

We’re just three days away from meeting our $85,000 year end fundaising goal! Make your bike rides better by helping us get there!

“WABA invests in community members like me to become instructors and advocates for better biking infrastructure, and to give voice to those who don’t share the same language, or have the time, skills, or knowledge of the system to get involved.”

Last night more than 200 members of the WABA family joined us to celebrate biking wins in 2015 and launch WABA’s 5-year Strategic Plan.
