Bike Newport was formed as an advocacy group intent on raising Newport to the status of a "Bicycle Friendly City" as set forth by the League of American Bicyclists. Although the group has only been in existence for a short time great strides are being made to reach this designation. Bike racks will begin popping up all along Newport's main street and several Bike Month events have been planned to help create awareness for the need for other bicycle friendly improvements.
All of this activity is grabbing the attention of the local press as well. Check it out...

Go Queen City Bike! Go Bike Newport!
Hey, just wanted to drop a note to say this is great blog idea, and a great topic to be advocating for. As someone who rides every day for about a half of the year, I will look forward to popping in and seeing more good stuff :)
Cheers!
The Queen City is a bike city!
