Why: Bicycles are not only ridden by people in spandex on expensive bikes. We aim to celebrate all types of bike riding and have a renewed emphasis on celebrating those rides that are around town for all ages and in regular clothes. May is National Bike Month and our Mayor’s Ride is part of the Celebration. Our elected leaders are key in helping ensure our streets are for people and not only cars. We aim to help our elected leaders see the importance of prioritizing and allocating resources to ensure our streets are safe and welcoming for EVERYONE.
