Pedal Power: Celebrate National Bicycle Month This May
May is National Bicycle Month—a perfect time to dust off your bike, pump up those tires, and celebrate the joy and freedom that comes with two wheels and a little pedaling power. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist, a casual cruiser, or someone considering getting back in the saddle, Bicycle Month is for everyone.
Why Celebrate Biking?
Bicycling isn’t just fun it’s also a powerful tool for improving personal health and building stronger connected communities.

- Log your miles: Participate in local or national challenges and track your rides.
- Support bike-friendly initiatives: Advocate for bike lanes, better infrastructure, and safer streets.
- Try something new: Experiment with bike commuting, mountain biking, or even bikepacking.
Tips for a Safe and Enjoyable Ride
