EverybodyBIKE

EverybodyBIKE is the bicycle education program for Whatcom Smart Trips. Take advantage of the many free EverybodyBIKE educational materials, classes, and events to find out how you and your family can cycle comfortably, safely, and often. No matter what your age or ability level, EverybodyBIKE skills-building can help bicycling become part of your transportation portfolio.

Bicycling is a great way to replace your short car trips. Traveling to a neighbor's house or to the local store can be easy and fun on a bike. Even if you haven’t biked in a while, you'll be surprised at how easy it is to bike three-miles. Many daily trips are shorter than three miles and for these short trips, bicycling is often quicker than driving. Where trails can be part of your trip, running errands becomes a mini-vacation in your day!

Many people see bicycling as a recreational activity – and for good reason – bicycling is fun! But the bicycle also happens to be the most efficient form of transportation ever invented. The goals of the EverybodyBIKE are to:

• Help local travelers see bicycles as an important form of transportation
• Increase bicycle trips to the point that they are a significant share of local trips
