Bike Advocacy
.
The Gallatin Valley Bicycle Club is dedicated to providing cycling activities that promote recreation, individual health, education, and advocacy and encourage a more bicycle friendly community in the Gallatin Valley. As well, the Club supports shared-use trails in appropriate and accessible locations.
If you are interested in volunteering with GVBC in advocacy activities, please contact Advocacy Director Molly Pickall at mpickall@hotmail.com. Feel free to suggest your ideas for GVBC’s involvement too!
