What We Do

  • Education

    We believe knowledge is power and safety. Through community meetups and online resources, we equip cyclists of all ages and experience levels with the skills and confidence to ride safely throughout Greater Grand Rapids. From understanding traffic laws and bike maintenance to route planning and commuter tips, our goal is to make cycling a practical, empowering, and accessible option for everyone.

  • Advocacy

    We work to amplify the voices of cyclists across our region by collaborating with local leaders, city planners, and organizations to shape policies that support safer, more connected streets. By building a coalition of passionate riders and allies, we push for equitable bicycle infrastructure, improved road design, and a culture that values people on bikes as vital members of our transportation system.

  • Community

    Cycling brings people together and we’re dedicated to creating a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone feels they belong. Through group rides, community events, and partnerships with local organizations and neighborhood associations, we foster meaningful connections and celebrate the joy of riding. Our vision is a vibrant, diverse, and equitable bicycling community where everyone in Greater Grand Rapids can experience the health, social, and environmental benefits of cycling.
