National Bike Month

In 1955, the League of American Wheelmen (DBA League of American Bicyclists) successfully petitioned congress to declare May as National Bike Month.

National Bike Month is an opportunity to celebrate the unique power of the bicycle and the many reasons we ride. Whether you bike to work or school; to save money or time; to preserve your health or the environment; to explore your community or get to your destination, get involved in Bike Month in your city or state — and help get more people in your community out riding too!

May 14-18 has evolved from it to form Bike to Work WEek and Friday May 18  Bike to Work Day.

The inaugural Bike to School Day is May 9, 2012.
