Bikes Belong is Good for Communities

We believe bicycling makes America better. Bicycling is a solution to many challenges facing our society today. By helping create safe places to ride and encouraging people to pedal, we’re forming stronger, healthier communities.

Helping improve America

• Our lobbying efforts and Grants Program help develop hundreds of new bike paths, lanes, trails, and programs each year.
• By hosting the Safe Routes to School National Partnership, we’re working to create safe ways for kids to bike to school. This leads to healthier children and lighter traffic.
• Our support of the Bicycle Friendly Community, State, and Business programs (run by the League of American Bicyclists) is inspiring cities, towns, states, and businesses to improve their bicycle facilities and programs.
• The Paul David Clark Bicycling Safety Fund supports projects to improve bicycle safety.
• More and better places to ride inspire more people to pedal.
• We’re getting more children on bikes, creating healthier generations.
• Transforming car commuters to bike commuters reduces polluting emissions, so we can all breathe cleaner air.
• People buying bikes support jobs and businesses.
• Active communities have fewer weight-related diseases and lower healthcare costs.
• When people ride bikes, they get to know their neighbors and neighborhoods, creating friendlier communities.
