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. May is also when the National Bike Challenge kicks off, and the challenge continues through September. In 2023, Bike to Work Week is May 15-21, with Bike to Work Day on Friday, May 19, 2023.
