Bike Month is Approaching!

Vote for the ride you want to take

We've offered up some popular self-guided routes from the last couple of years and we'd like you to choose which one will be done as an in person group ride for Bike Month! 

 

Need a remote activity? Try Run Across May

Similar to last years LA Rivers Challenge, Run Across May put on by the WORK organization began as an in person event. They have since transitioned to a virtual challenge that allows any and everyone to participate (don't let the "run" discourage you). 

WORK’s mission is to accompany families in Haiti out of poverty through good, dignified jobs. This year marks their third annual Run Across May (RAM) virtual event where participants take on a challenge of 200 miles or 200 reps of any activity of their choice from May 1st-May 31st. From running to cycling to squats, the options are endless! Aside from committing to your 200 challenge across May, participants are encouraged to raise a minimum of $200.

 

One month left to collect signatures to hold LA leadership accountable. Mobility Plan 2035 has plans for added bike infrastructure, but only about 3% has been implemented and we are 7 years into the plan. We must add a ballot measure to increase the work being done to create safer, healthier streets for LA.

 

Acknowledging Victims of Traffic Violence + Those Who've Contributed to the Cycling World

Last Saturday, April 16th, in Griffith Park, Andrew Jelmert, a bicyclist leaving an AIDS LifeCycle training ride, was killed in a hit and run crash. This death and its circumstances are chilling and infuriating. Read our full statement as well as calls to action to make Griffith Park safer for all of us.

We understand every crash can bring up memories of our own experiences or those of loved ones who have been hurt or were killed. We also recognize some cyclists remain unnamed in the news, the story of their lives unshared. We invite anyone who feels compelled to send in a few words about someone you know that passed away while riding, to please share in this form.
