Fairfax Bike Summit 2013
Event Information
Description
Fairfax County is transforming Tysons to create a livable, walkable, and sustainable community. The Metrorail Silver Line stations are the foundation of the radical transportation change, and bicycles will be a key tool in the new ways of travel.
The remaking of Tysons will influence development and transportation across Fairfax County for the next 40 years. From Merrifield to Springfield, Huntington to Reston, bicycle transportation will be a vital link in local travel choices.

The summit is open to everyone. Registration is required and the cost is $25 (sponsorship and volunteer opportunities available). The $25 registration fee will help offset the costs of putting on the summit. Any proceeds will help support FABB's ongoing advocacy work.
Pre-Summit Activities: You may choose from two (optional) pre-summit events: 1) a pre-summit ride from Tysons to Mason, or 2) a bicycle advocacy workshop. Both will be held on the morning of the summit.
