While many local Bike Month programs and events were cancelled last year, cities with Love to Ride programs saw some of their best ever results. From Madison with a 15% increase to San Diego who saw a 245% increase in participation in their Bike Month programs.
Love to Ride provides an effective and safe way to deliver biking programs in the Covid-19 era. With an online biking program you can be secure in the knowledge that your Bike Month will go ahead this year.

7 Reasons to Work with Love to Ride this Bike Month
1️⃣ Get more people on bikes and grow your riding community!
-
- Give new riders access to the tools they need to build their confidence
- Mobilize your existing riders - we make it easy and fun for them to encourage and support their co-workers, friends and family to ride too

2️⃣ It is a safe program to run in the Coronavirus Era
Whatever the world throws at us this May, from new coronavirus variants to crazy weather, with an online program you can rest assured that your Bike Month event can go ahead because it is inherently socially distanced and not reliant on having good weather on one particular day.
