Thanks for stopping by the DC BAC new website. Website, blog, whatever you want to call it. Its our way of keeping in touch with all of you, the cyclists of the District of Columbia.

This site is certainly a work in progress but feel free to look around.  Our goal is to have everything in one place for you.  From the times and locations of our council and committee meetings to current laws affecting cyclists.  We want to keep you informed of new legislation in the works and what Metropolitan Police Department is doing (or not!) to keep cyclists safe.  We even want you to get involved in the moving and shaking at DDOT, Office of Planning, DC Council, National Park Service and more! So, please, feel free to browse a bit, post comments and let us know what you want to see on this site.  The BAC is here for you!

And, please, check back often as this site is about to blow up!

Sincerely,
Meredith Begin
Chair, Ward 1 representative
