Hello and welcome to our planning for Bike Week 2021, a celebration of bike (still paired down due to the pandemic)! We have been hard at work re-creating a week of fun, COVID-19 conscious biking that everyone can enjoy and support in ways that work best for them.
Our theme this year again is, "Pedal for Good!" We are hosting a virtual Bike Film Fest and other events that encourage people to go by bike and contribute to their community, helping make life easier and more enjoyable for everyone. You are viewing this because you likely have a good appreciation for bikes, and may like to host your own event or participate in ours.
We would love to share your Bike Week event! Any September 2021 event that involves a bicycle ride, in a COVID conscious way, and gives something back to the community can be included on our Bike Week website. If you have something planned, that's great, tell us about it! If you need some ideas, try your version of one of these:
1. Participate in the Bike Week Food Drive "Pedal for Good"
2. Become a promotional sponsor for the virtual Bike Week Film Fest
