CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress in support of a national bike month
and in appreciation of cyclists and others for promoting bicycle safety
and the benefits of cycling.
Whereas there are over 57 million adult cyclists in the United States;
Whereas it is estimated that 100 million United States citizens of all ages
cycle each year;
Whereas 5 million United States citizens commute by bicycle to work;
Whereas the bicycle industry generates more than $5 billion dollars a year and
is an important part of the economy of the United States;
Whereas recreational cycling is a safe, low-impact, aerobic activity for all
ages;
Whereas when an individual cycles as a form of regular exercise, the health of
the individual may be increased;
Whereas a national bike month would provide an opportunity to educate United
States citizens about the importance of bicycle safety and the health
benefits of cycling;
Whereas most communities in the United States officially recognize May 20th as
Bike to Work Day; and
Whereas the month of May has officially been celebrated as National Bike Month
by the League of American Bicyclists and the majority of the
international cycling community since 1956: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of Congress that--
(1) United States citizens should observe a national bike
month to educate citizens of the United States about the
importance of bicycle safety and the health, transportation,
recreational, and environmental benefits derived from cycling;
(2) health and transportation professionals and
organizations should promote bicycle safety and the benefits of
cycling; and
(3) United States citizens should salute the more than 57
million cyclists in the United States and the national and
community organizations, individuals, volunteers, and
professionals associated with cycling for promoting bicycle
safety and the benefits of cycling.
