The ATRC wants to remind everyone that May is Bike Month (MIBM)! Here are some ideas you can quickly implement to help people in your community join the fun:
Partner Up
Partnering with local agencies or Community Based Organizations can help make your MIBM events exceptionally stronger. The earlier you reach out the better. Get the ideas rolling!
Infrastructure and Trail Awareness
Organize events that explore new or existing bicycle infrastructure and trails. Create a map or other resources to help people plan their trips by bike.
Fun Activities
Create fun activities like bike BINGO! The goal of MIBM is to get people out of their cars and on their bikes. Gamify biking and show them how many places they could visit.
MIBM Campaigns
Check out the National May is Bike Month campaign! Many local/regional transportation agencies and nonprofit organizations are organizing activities for MIBM this year.
Here are a few examples that caught our attention:
- North State – Shasta Bike Month & Challenge
