BTA Offers Scholarships for Oregon Bicycle Conference



The BTA wants to see YOU at the Oregon Bicycle Conference, in Portland on

June 4-6th! And we're prepared to offer you the big bucks to be thereS



Scholarships are available to Oregon bicycle and pedestrian advocates,

teachers and health professionals who want to make their communities safer,

healthier and more bike friendly. Attendance to the three-day conference,

normally a $290 cost, is available for $90 and includes luncheons, dinner

receptions, and other events. Several full scholarships are also available,

based on need.



The OBC is part of the League of American Bicyclists' National Bicycle

Education Leaders Conference hosted by the BTA in Portland. An "Oregon

track" will focus on where we've come from and where we want to go in

building better communities in Oregon - and how to get there. Other topics

include information on Safe Routes to Schools, teaching adult cyclists,

organizing bicycle events, and other innovative education and instruction

techniques and efforts.



We'll also celebrate with a Wednesday night BBQ party sponsored by Resource

Revival, and a Thursday night bike parade through First Thursday galleries,

ending with a Bike Art party at the EcoTrust building.
