Bike Indianapolis is the city’s bicycle advocacy group. Our mission is to make more bike riders in central Indiana. This requires streets that are safe and fun for everyone. We accomplish this in three major ways:
ADVOCATE | We work with city officials and other organizations to ensure that our public facilities are bicycle friendly. This includes bike lanes, bike trails and even bike parking.
EDUCATE | We help to educate riders on safe cycling techniques and good road sharing manners. We also will work with drivers to help them learn to be more bicycle friendly drivers. Our long standing signature activity in this area has been the Riders in the Know program. We will be expanding this outreach to new and returning riders in the near future, with additional outreach to motorized vehicle drivers.
RIDE | We help to provide destinations for riders. Commuters already know their destination. For other riders, it’s nice to have someone plan an activity on occasion. Bike Indianapolis will work with local businesses and other community organizations to create opportunities for riders to cycle safely to a fun destination event.
