Bike Month is Coming and We’ve Got a Fresh New Look

Are you feeling that spring breeze? That tinge of warmth on your face? Maybe that new trickle of sweat down your back? Well, that is not just the weather changing – it’s the excitement building for National Bike Month! 

The League celebrates National Bike Month every May, and we’re a broken record on this, but we also firmly believe every month should be Bike Month. In fact, in places like Arizona, Florida, and Alaska, April and June take the honors. So though we’ll focus on some national dates here, know that we support local communities choosing the dates that work best for their residents! 

Bike Month is the perfect time to dust off your bike, pump up those tires, and rediscover the simple pleasure of riding. Whether you’re a seasoned bike commuter or weekend warrior, or if you’re just starting out, there’s something for everyone during this special month.

Mark Your Calendars!

• National Ride a Bike Day (May 4th): Kick off the month with a ride! Whether it’s a quick spin around the neighborhood or a longer adventure, let’s celebrate the freedom and fun of biking. Extra bonus points if you make it Star Wars themed for “May the Fourth.”
• Bike & Roll to School Day (May 7th): Get the whole family rolling! There’s no better way to start the school day that with some fresh air and pedal strokes.
• Bike to Work Week (May 12th-18th): Try a new way to get to and from work this week! Commuting by bike is a fantastic way to get exercise, reduce your carbon footprint, and start your day with a smile.
• Bike to Work Day (May 16th): Free snacks, a chorus of ringing bells, bike lanes packed with smiles – our favorite day! Join bike commuters nationwide as we demonstrate the joy of saying “I Biked” today.
