WABA‘s first District Bike Summit takes place Sunday, December 7, 2025, 2–5 pm at the Festival Center in Adams Morgan. Please join us for this free event!
The summit is focused on advancing Washington, DC bicycling and safe streets.
We’ve lined up a visionary keynote speaker — MIT Mobility Initiative fellow David Zipper will speak on autonomous vehicles and their implications for bicyclists and urban transportation — and we’re planning panels that will highlight community organizing and advocacy. The first will explore Effective Organizing, that is, how do we build and tap into movements city-wide, with Hill Family Biking co-founder Mark Sussman, Alex Clark from DC youth cycling program Prime Ability, and environmental justice advocate and ecofeminist Brenda Richardson with moderator Amelia Neptune from the League of American Bicyclists. The second panel will tackle More and Better DC Bicycling with a look at opportunities, obstacles, and strategies relating to infrastructure, policy, and programs, with participants Alyssa Proudfoot Siegel from WABA, Ward 5 Family Biking co-founder Brooke Bernold, and a youth advocate plus moderator WABA Advocacy Director Kalli Krumpos. We’ll also hear from District bikeways lead Greg Billing, and mid-way through the summit, we’ll have an extended networking break with snacks and drinks.
Our aim is to bring together District cyclists and talk about the joy of cycling and how to make DC even more bicycle friendly! See you on December 7?
