2024 National Bike Summit Recap
Our Bikeflights event season shifted into high gear last week in Washington, DC at the 2024 National Bike Summit hosted by the League of American Bicyclists. Each spring, the Summit draws hundreds of bike advocates together from across the US to learn from and inspire each other to create more and safer opportunities for biking and walking.
Bikeflights was represented by four Ambassadors, including Tina Beecham, Jessica Brunson and Diana Hildebrand all in person and Kecia McCullough joining virtually.
Vice President Sue George also made the trip to the nation’s capital.
Held over three days at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library and on Capitol Hill, the Summit’s energy was overwhelmingly positive. It turns out that now is a good time for bike advocacy. You can see it by simply riding around Washington, DC, where like many other parts of the country, there are increasingly more protected bike lanes, dedicated trails and paths and many other infrastructure improvements that have been proven to increase rider safety, like rumble strips and better lighting and signage.
And the momentum continues with recent infrastructure bills promising more funding to come to states and localities everywhere. Of course, there’s still plenty more work to be done. We were all reminded of a sobering statistic: there’s been a 55% increase in cycling fatalities in the US in the past 10 years.
On opening day, we especially enjoyed the presentation by Veronica O. Davis, author of “Inclusive Transportation: A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communities.” Davis believes everyone should have access to safe, reliable and affordable transportation, and she shared some of her first-hand experiences creating more such opportunities while working for the City of Houston as the Director of Transportation & Drainage Operations. Davis painted a candid picture of what it’s really like to be on the administrative side of bike advocacy, something useful for bike advocates to better understand as they work with other administrators in similar situations.
Perhaps the most entertaining speaker was Shailen Bhatt, Administrator of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). With his witty sense of humor, Bhatt made us laugh, even while sharing info about The Active Transportation Infrastructure & Investment Program (ATIIP) and how the FHWA encourages the implementation of projects and programs to improve safety, equity and accessibility for all road users, especially through Complete Streets Planning.
Another big highlight was getting to see our very own Bikeflights Ambassador Diane Hildebrand receive an award upon being named “Educator of the Year” by the League of American Bicyclists. Congratulations to Diane!
The second – or middle day – of the Summit was what is called “Lobby Day.” That’s when Summit attendees swap out their bike shoes and helmets for business attire and meet with their respective Senators and Representatives or their staff to advocate for bills and initiatives that will create a more bicycling-friendly America.
As we rode bikes and walked around Washington, we were treated to the sight of blooming cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin and everywhere. Mother Nature may have brought peak bloom a week or two prematurely this year, but her timing worked out to be perfect for us to enjoy.
Our big takeaway from this year’s National Bike Summit is that the most important thing is to simply show up. Again and again. We were reminded by retiring Oregon Senator Earl Blumenauer and Washington Area Bicyclist Association Advocacy Director Jeremiah Lowery that nothing ever happens to make cycling better and safer if no one shows up.
So while not everyone can take the time or afford the expense of traveling to Washington to lobby their members of Congress for bills that fund cycling infrastructure improvements, there’s a lot we can all do locally… such as filling out surveys to give rider input about proposed local transportation projects, attending your city or county meetings and getting involved in your local advocacy group.
Bikeflights is proud to be a long-time sponsor of the League of American Bicyclists National Bike Summit.

Meet Bikeflights Ambassador Starla Teddergreen
Starla Teddergreen was in the midst of a successful 15-year professional cycling career when a run-in with COVID-19 unveiled a new and unexpected path. What ultimately emerged was a life-altering diagnosis that would halt most people in their tracks, but Starla, like the competitor she’s been since childhood, saw it as just another challenge to overcome in her life as a professional athlete.
Starla grew up in the mountains of northeast Washington, finding inspiration that ultimately formed her competitive spirit in female athletes in the Olympics and in everyday sibling rivalries with her sister. She dreamed of becoming a professional athlete. Cycling wouldn’t enter the picture, however, until after high school.
Upon moving to Seattle after high school, Starla supported herself with a variety of jobs while pursuing an education. Unbeknownst to her, one of those jobs, working as a bike messenger, was the gateway to achieving her dream of becoming a professional athlete. Within the bike messenger world, she began competing in alley cats and the Cycle Messenger World Championships. A move to San Francisco introduced Starla to road racing, and a successful road racing career blossomed from there.
About a decade into her flourishing career, the world ground to a halt. The COVID-19 pandemic erased the 2020 racing calendar. For more than a year, Starla trained for the sake of training, without a specific event to prepare for.
In late summer of 2021, the world was taking steps toward finding normal, and racing was back on her calendar. During this time, Starla and her husband Gino launched the organization Distance to Empty, with the goal of supporting Colorado-based women who wish to pursue cycling in some capacity.
In early 2022, both Starla and Gino contracted COVID. While both eventually tested negative, Starla’s health began to decline in peculiar ways. Her heart rate became erratic, she experienced swelling, tingling, burning and muscle weakness. Breathing became difficult. And possibly worst of all, she had a neurologist who wanted to dismiss her symptoms as the self-induced mental stress of an athlete.
While it wasn’t her professional athlete mind causing her symptoms, it was her tenacious professional athletic approach that helped her pursue legitimate answers and landed her in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. And she did get some answers.
An MRI showed that Starla had a lesion on her cervical spine on the C5 and C6 vertebrae and potential spots on her brain, pointing to a potential diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). She was also diagnosed with acute transverse myelitis, leading to a total of nine days of treatments in the hospital.
Despite this life-altering health development and potential diagnosis, Starla returned to Colorado with the goal of getting back to racing her bike.
“My medical team made it clear I am not their typical patient; my drive to achieve and continue to push my body despite its limitations has them excited and curious to see what I can accomplish, as this seems to be uncharted territory for all of us,” she said.
Starla faced the challenge of a long recovery and accepting a new reality in all facets of her training and approach to competing. Recovery required significant rehabilitation to regain mobility, strength, balance and coordination in her limbs.
“Initially, I had to learn to be compassionate towards myself as I mourned the loss of the athlete and person I once was. Coming to terms with my new reality meant acknowledging my limitations, reframing my mindset to avoid discouragement and listening to my body in a completely different way,” she said.
“Throughout my athletic career, I had been accustomed to pushing through discomfort, ignoring pain and pushing myself to the limit. However, since my diagnosis, I've had to redefine my limits, which seem to be ever-changing due to various factors. It was a gradual process of recalibrating my body and understanding the nuances of this new, unfamiliar body that I inhabit.”
By the time the 2023 season emerged, Starla felt ready to pursue a full calendar of gravel and off-road racing, notably the Life Time Grand Prix series.
“The Life Time Grand Prix marked the beginning of another pivotal chapter in my journey as an athlete with MS. It served as a poignant reminder of my capabilities and the unique hurdles I face. Heat intolerance emerged as the primary obstacle affecting my performance, with even slight increases in body temperature exacerbating neurological symptoms,” she said.
Starla’s first season back provided the insights she needed to develop a new approach to racing her bike, handpicking events that provide the most experiential impact as opposed to simply results.
“Recognizing the need to prioritize races that would provide meaningful experiences rather than solely focusing on results, I have sought out races like Cape Epic, where I could continue to push boundaries and thrive as an athlete under my own terms, undeterred by the constraints of MS.”
Starla’s decision to tackle Cape Epic, an eight-day mountain bike stage race in South Africa, exemplifies her new approach. Racers, in teams of two, typically cover more than 420 miles and climb more than 55,000 feet over seven stages.
“Planning for an eight-day stage race halfway across the world required meticulous attention to detail. So many spreadsheets!”
Starla and her race partner Hannah Shell, and their husbands, opted to stay in Airbnbs instead of the “race village” in order to have more control over nutrition planning due to Starla’s dietary needs and equipment preparation, including things like ice socks to control her body temperature as daily highs could reach 115 degrees Fahrenheit.
“Trips to the grocery store were frequent to restock our chicken, rice and steamed vegetable supplies. Outside of racing, fueling became an arduous task, especially for someone like me who is celiac in a country where gluten-free isn't well understood. During the race, they drove to all the pro aid stations to deliver additional ice socks and cold bottles of water we used to dump on me.”
“Water’s coming,” Hannah would say as she sprayed Starla’s neck and shoulders with ice-cold water in an attempt to keep her core temperature down and her MS symptoms at bay for as long as possible.
Their meticulous planning seems to have worked out well as the team finished 15th overall in the UCI women’s category, finishing strong in 11th in the final stage.
“Our team name for Cape Epic, ‘Distance To Empty,’ reflects the program my husband Gino and I run—a Colorado-based non-profit that helps women overcome obstacles and reach the start line of races. Conceptually, it also symbolizes how two teammates supporting and communicating with each other can surpass their own ‘distance to empty,’” Starla said.
“Reflecting on the race, we did just that.”
With Cape Epic as the official kickoff of Starla’s 2024 race season, which will primarily focus on mountain biking, she also looks forward to continuing the work on Distance to Empty and fulfilling the Pursuit Awards, with the help of sponsors like Bikeflights.
“Our Pursuit Awards have always aimed to support a diverse range of aspiring women in cycling, from newcomers to those striving to turn pro. And Bikeflights has been instrumental in helping the program run smoothly. From shipping bikes and equipment to events to sending sponsor products to athletes spread out across Colorado, Bikeflights makes logistics easy and eliminates one less spreadsheet to manage,” she said.
“With the support of Bikeflights, we can focus more on our goals and less on transportation logistics, ultimately helping us achieve more tremendous success personally and for the DTE program.”

Budget-Friendly Bike Shipping Hacks
Motorcycle Shipping Services could be a complicated and costly proposition. However, with some smart strategies and insider hacks, it is totally possible to make Moving a Motorcycle more affordable.
Herein lies the aim of this blog post - to equip you with practical, budget-friendly bike shipping hacks derived from industry experience.
Proper Preparation is Key
Prepping your bike well before transport can save you considerable costs. First, clean it thoroughly to reveal any pre-existing damages clearly. Document these with photos, as these might come in handy in case of a dispute.
Moreover, performing routine checks, including tire pressure, and battery condition, and ensuring all attachments are tight, can save you from extra fees or damages during transit.
The Right Shipping Method
The type of motorcycle shipping services you opt for can also significantly impact expenses. For long-distance shipping, you have two main options: open and enclosed transport.
Open transport on multi-bike trailers might be more cost-effective, but it exposes your bike to the elements. Enclosed transport, although pricier, provides additional protection ideal for rare or expensive models.
If you are transporting within Arkansas or nearby states, local companies like Motorcycle Transport Arkansas provide competitive rates and decrease the probability of damage during long transits.
Time Your Shipping Wisely
The shipping season plays a critical role in how much you spend on motorcycle shipping. During peak seasons like summer, when demand is high, you can expect shipping costs to spike.
Conversely, planning your shipment during off-peak times can get you some inexpensive deals. So, if possible, try adjusting your delivery timelines.
Consolidate Your Shipment
If you're moving more than your motorcycle—like a car or your household items, consolidating all your needs with the same company might save you a fortune. Many companies offer discounts on multi-vehicle or combined shipping.
Insurance: To Upgrade or Not
Basic coverage during transport is often part of the shipping package. Nevertheless, if your motorcycle is precious, upgrading insurance may seem like the appropriate thing to do. Before you do that, check your existing policies; your home insurance or bike insurance may already have in-transit coverage.
Compare Quotes
Lastly, don't settle for the first quote you receive. Gather quotes from different companies, ensuring comparable services. Take note of any additional charges that may increase your total cost. Once you have multiple quotes, use them to negotiate for the best deal.
Wrap Up
Now that’s a wrap on budget-friendly hacks to affordable Motorcycle Transport American Samoa Services. Remember, moving your bike doesn’t have to break the bank.
With careful planning, flexible scheduling, and smart decisions, you can get your ride safely to its new home, all while keeping your wallet happy.
Want to ship your motorcycle with peace of mind at exceptional rates? Request for a free quote now and let’s get your bike moving. Hurry, fantastic deals await!
