The Bike Council works to promote the safe use of bicycles for transportation and recreation in Burlington, Vermont.

The Bike Council will make a good faith effort to represent the best interests of the bicycling community in Burlington when it makes recommendations to DPW and other city agencies.

The Bike Council wishes to act with forethought and planning, not just in reaction to requests for advice. Issues of concern to the Bike Council will be studied as far in advance as possible. This is true for projects proposed by the Bike Council as well as projects initiated by DPW and other agencies that will impact the biking community.
