John from Pedestrians.org recently posted a comment about videos from the National Bike Summit. They really deserve a bit more visibility.

And this probably is the next best thing to being there.

Perhaps the best is of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood:

What a striking improvement over the former Transportation Secretary Mary Peters who tried re-defining “transportation” and “infrastructure” to exclude biking and walking.

Other videos from the Summit include:

• US Representative Earl Blumenauer
• US Representative Daniel Lipinski
• US Representative Doris Matsui (Complete Streets)

You’ll also want to check out this video from the Iowa Bicycle Coalition. Blumenauer’s breakfast speech beginning at :40 seconds captures a great moment from this event. Congressman Tom Petri of Wisconsin also provides some interesting commentary.
