Our Story
The Bike Bureau began in Boston in 1923, when city planner Loren Ipsham famously converted the city's entire horse-lane complaint system into a bicycle-lane complaint system by crossing out "horse" and writing "bicycle" in pencil on every single form.
For over a century, the Bureau remained distinctly clipboard-based until the 1987 acquisition of our first filing cabinet marked a turning point in institutional maturity that we remain proud of. Today, the Bureau uses the World Wide Web to enable people all over the world to formally complain about cars in their bike lanes.
What started with one man has grown into a global movement, with people biking reporting blocked bike lanes from every continent. That's right, even Antarctica, where last week we received one report from the Ross research station of a penguin that built a nest smack dab in the designated cycling corridor and then refused to make eye contact.
