For those not in attendance at the League of American Bicyclists National Bike Summit, here’s a YouTube video of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s talk to the gathered delegates.
As you could perhaps anticipate, it’s definitely the choir preaching to the already-converted, but such speeches are still often fun. This year’s edition is a little more sedate than last year’s, which featured Secretary LaHood jumping on a table.
If you’re interested in seeing more about the national issues being addressed at the Summit with members of Congress, the League’s Summit Program 2011 is also online.
