The Chicagoland Bicycle Federation will unveil its new "Top 10 Initiatives" list that it wants to achieve for all bicyclists in the coming year at its annual forum. The forum will be held Thursday, October 28, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., at the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington St. 5th Floor.

Attendees will learn what will be the primary focus of the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation's bicycle advocacy efforts in the Chicago metropolitan area for the next 12 months. Last year's list included upholding the rights of bicyclists in the legal system, increasing the organization's role outside Chicago, improving conditions on regional trails and others.

The meeting is open to the public, regardless of membership in the organization. There is no cost to attend.

The Chicagoland Bicycle Federation was founded in 1985 to improve the bicycling environment in the seven-county Chicago region. The Federation promotes bicycle safety, education, and facilities and encourages the use of the bicycle as an energy-efficient, economical and nonpolluting form of transportation and as a healthful and enjoyable form of recreation.
