Bicycle-Pedestrian and Mixed Message
These organizations voice a basic toy-bicycle stance with varying degrees of support for vehicular rights, ranging from those that include only the mandatory token statement to those with a vocal minority of members demanding aggressive promotion of cyclists' rights as vehicle operators. Most are largely funded by and thus support the government, bicycle industry and motoring public solutions to the bicycle "problem" by working for the creation of separate bicycle-pedestrian facilities.

A World of Bicycle and Bicyclist Advocates
Once again, a mixed bag. Sadly, this is in many cases a statement of the "pedestrian on wheels" separate facility mentality that passes for bicycle advocacy in the United States. However, all of the sites selected have at least some content and support for cyclists rights as vehicular operators, and some are outstanding.
