Bed and Bike America Launched
One Street, an international bicycle advocacy organization, has just launched Bed and Bike America, a new program bringing more sustainability into the tourism sector by creating an international network that helps bike tourists find welcoming places to stay. Accommodation vendors that meet the program’s requirements can sign up at http://www.bedandbikeamerica.org . The program appeals to all kinds of accommodation vendors, primarily in the US, Canada and Mexico, whether they are hotels, hostels or campsites – fancy or budget. “We want to make cycling tourism in America more attractive – and therefore launching this website is a first step – but definitely not our last,” says Leonhard Sobottka, Project Coordinator for One Street’s Bed and Bike America program.
