Better biking since 1999.

About us

PeopleForBikes is uniting millions of individuals, thousands of businesses and hundreds of communities to make bike riding better for everyone. To learn more about PeopleForBikes and join, visit PeopleForBikes.org. Our playbook includes three simple strategies: Through our PlacesForBikes program we help communities quickly build better places to ride of all types. Our Community Grants Program provides financial support for some of these projects. Our Bike Network Analysis tool helps cities and towns identify and correct weak spots in their bike networks. Our first City Ratings program (going public in May) and our acclaimed PlacesForBikes Conference clearly show city leaders where their communities stand on bicycling, and help them improve quickly. We work with federal, state and local leaders to advance bike project funding and pro-bike laws. We develop Congressional champions. We monitor all 50 state legislatures and support the work of state and local advocacy groups. Our business members and individual backers speak up for bike riding in communities nationwide. As a result, government agencies have invested nearly $20 billion to build thousands of miles of new U.S. lanes, paths and trails in the last 20 years. We explain how people and places benefit from safe, accessible, convenient and fun bike rides. We research, measure and quantify the many positive outcomes of bicycling. We share best practices and success stories. When PeopleForBikes is successful, you enjoy good bike riding experiences and great things follow. People become healthier and happier, communities become better places to live, mobility improves, jobs are created and sustained, and businesses thrive. Everyone wins!

  • The bipartisan Expanding Public Lands Outdoor Recreation Experiences (EXPLORE) Act was unanimously passed by the U.S. Senate on December 19 and now heads to President Biden's desk to be signed into law. PeopleForBikes strongly advocated for the passage of this historic legislation that will significantly enhance and expand access to outdoor recreation on America’s public lands and deliver sustainable economic boosts to rural communities. We celebrate this monumental achievement giving all Americans the opportunity to experience and explore our nation’s natural environments and landscapes. Learn more at https://bit.ly/3VLJ2Iv.
