The Benefits of Biking

Physical

Improved cardiovascular fitness, stronger muscles, greater coordination, and general mobility.

Mental

Better brain function and focus by increasing oxygen and the connectivity in the brain’s gray matter.

Social

Reduces stress and elevates your mood by releasing endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine.

Environmental

Decreases use of nonrenewable resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.

All Ages & All Abilities

Bike Month is for all riders, even prospective ones!
“I would encourage everybody to give it a shot. Try the city trails and bike lanes, cause once you get used to them you're gonna love them and you're not going to want to leave your bike behind.”

"I started biking just to get around but it has become what makes me feel alive and connected to my surroundings. Now I bike to work every day and I love hearing the birds, seeing the flowers bloom, and feeling the morning sun on my face."

"I found my love for bikes in my late 20s, much after my original introduction as a child. Bikes are toys, transportation, exercise, a way to connect with others, better than a counseling session, freedom!"

"I am a bicycle rider with the Golden Rollers, a senior citizen program. We love riding! Being in nature is so beautiful, my blood pressure stays down and my heart rate is normal. Riding helps with so many health problems that people may not realize."
