About NYBC

Better bicycling benefits our economy, communities, and the environment, but to succeed we need to all band together to make our collective voices heard and our vision realized! 

The New York Bicycling Coalition (NYBC) is the only statewide bicycling advocacy organization and for 20 years we have been fighting for your rights as a bicyclist and pedestrian in New York State. We serve this critical role as the united voice for better bicycling in the great state of New York. We invite you to join our growing movement today! The larger our membership, the stronger our voice. We ask that you show your support of better bicycling in New York and join us TODAY. 

We work for better bicycling in New York everyday by:

• Serving as your voice at the NY Statehouse – to improve conditions for bicyclists and pedestrians we monitor and introduce legislation to support better and safer bicycling. Working closely with our allies around the state, we played a key role in the passage of the Complete Streets Law last year by the New York State Legislature. This Law ensures that the safety needs of bicyclists, pedestrians, the elderly, the disabled and transit users must be considered, along with the safety needs of motorists, in the design of New York roads.
• Working with transportation agencies for better bicycling access on properly designed roads and bridges, so bicyclists can travel safely wherever they want in all regions of the state. For example we are successfully co-leading a campaign to include bicycle-pedestrian accommodations on a critical railroad bridge in the Capital Region.
• Educating motorists and bicyclists with our Traffic Skills Education to improve traffic safety in all regions of the state.
• Assisting communities across New York by working with local advocates, agencies and local elected officials for better bicycling. 

Whether you enjoy bicycling for recreation, sport, transportation, and good family fun, we all know the many benefits bicycling provides. We also know that it is part of a healthy lifestyle and can be enjoyed by anyone of any ability or age. This is a great time for bicycling but there are many challenges we face. 

NYBC exists to serve you and make biking better in New York. By joining you will help strengthen our voice and protect your rights as a bicyclist. Please join today to help support our work and campaigns to complete New York’s streets, build political will to invest in bicycling and to make your community a great place to bicycle.
