Bicycle federation changes its name

November 20th, 2008 -

I became a member of the Chicago bike federation because they are good and because of some bike/local pride. The organization recently changed its name to active transportation alliance.

We changed our name to reflect our expanded mission to improve walking, bicycling and transit in the region. As the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation, our work already reflected this approach. We moved into the new areas of walking and transit to help broaden our voice, gain new allies in reaching our overall goals, and effectively win Complete Streets for all.

I think it makes sense. My grievances over the name change are sentimental.
