Bike Month Dates and Events
May is National Bike Month, a celebration of biking as transportation, as recreation, as essential to our well-being and everyday lives. We encourage people and places to find ways to celebrate biking every day in May. In 2025, Bike to Work Week will be celebrated May 12-18, with Bike to Work Day on Friday, May 16, 2025.
40% of all trips in the U.S. are less than two miles, making bicycling a feasible and fun way to get around.
In 2025, Bike to Work Day will be May 16
In 2021, the League launched National Ride A Bike Day to take place on the first Sunday of every May. In its fourth year, National Ride A Bike Day will be held on May 4, 2025. Read more about the first National Ride A Bike Day on our blog.
Our partners at the UNC Highway Safety Research Center have promoted Walk Bike & Roll to School Day in May since 2012. The 2025 date will be May 7, 2025.
