everybodyBIKE
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
See & Be Seen: Light the Bike. See the Bike.
everybodyBIKE has teamed up with numerous community partners on a new campaign to
encourage cyclists to use lights and to remind motorists to watch for bikes. Make
sure you can SEE and BE SEEN by using lights when you ride at night.
Did you know? It's the law! During the hours of darkness cyclists must use a white
front light attached to the bike visible for 500 feet, along with a red reflector
attached to the back of the bike.
