Action Plan
Engage
Through advocacy and outreach we build connections between prospective riders, current bicyclists, and civic leaders to create more vibrant and welcoming communities.
Empower
We develop tools, skills, and resources for everyone to be able to choose whether, where, and how to ride. We elevate the voices of local residents so that everyone can shape the community in which they live, work, ride, and play.
Build
We build exceptional riding opportunities – new mountain biking trails, greenways, safe routes to school, welcoming road riding routes, and a supportive bicycling community.
Ride
We ride with joy, with play, and with purpose. We ride to work, through mountains, in the rain, and under sunshine. Joyful riding is surest sign of the better communities we envision.
