National Bike Month is finally here!
Every May since 1956, the League of American Bicyclists has been proud to celebrate National Bike Month: a whole month dedicated to the brilliance of the bicycle, connecting with your community on two (or more) wheels, and sharing the joy of biking with anyone who’ll listen.
Whether you’re rolling with a group or flying solo, National Bike Month is packed with ways to get involved. Here are a few dates worth putting on your radar:
If you’re hosting local events to celebrate any of these days, use this form to add them to our growing Bike Month events map!
And this year, we’re adding something a little special to help new and renewing League members spread bike joy during Bike Month: a free set of bike postcards! The pack of ten postcards, featuring the vibrant bike illustrations from last year’s What Bike Are You quiz, is yours free when you join or renew your membership with the League during Bike Month.
Use them to write a note to a pal who just got back on two wheels. Hand one to someone you see locking up outside your favorite coffee shop. Leave one on a bike-curious coworker’s desk during Bike to Work Week. Write your partner a love letter and tuck it in their desk for a rainy day. Send it through snail mail to your long-distance Zwift buddy. However you share them, the point is the same: bikes are more fun when you bring someone else along for the ride!
Ready to get yours? Join or renew your League membership by May 31 and we’ll send them your way.
Oh, and there’s more — we’ve also got a full suite of materials for both print and digital uses. You can find all the Bike Month promotional materials on our site, including shareable graphics and event resources, to help you celebrate and spread the word in your community. Plus, we’ve added some cool Bike Month stickers on Giphy that you can use in your Instagram stories!
Happy Bike Month! We’ll see you out there.
P.S. Tag the League on social media with all your Bike Month celebrations so we can like and share!
