Bike Month 2023 | Pedal your way through September.
Check out the full schedule of events.Mesa County is gearing up for another season of Grand Valley Bike Month and September is going to be a wheely good time.
Join Bike to Work Day, compete in the week long Business Challenge, or participate all month long in the Love to Ride Challenge.
Now, get rolling, Mesa County!
Plan a Group Ride
Coordinate an employee group ride.
Encourage employees to bike to work. Arrange a meet-up location with day parking so employees who live too far to bike to work can park and ride together as a group.
Another option is to organize a ride after work, departing from your place of business; possibly make plans to bike to a local eatery.
Encourage employees to take advantage of the local Bike to Business discounts. Allow extra time in the morning for employees to stop on their way to work or provide longer breaks. Allow for casual attire on Bike to Work Day to help employees feel more comfortable when biking to work.
Keep it Safe
- Take the route with the least amount of motor vehicle traffic.
- Try to find routes that incorporate a wide shoulder, bike lane, or multi-use path.
- If you have a larger group, ride in groups ranging in speed from faster riders to leisurely riders who take it slow.
- When riding in the dark, wear reflective gear and use bike lights.
- When biking to a local business or park, make sure multiple riders in the group have bike locks so that all bikes can be secured.
- Encourage riders to wear helmets, close-toed shoes, and to avoid baggy clothing that could get caught in the chain.
