Your Support of PeopleForBikes Matters
At PeopleForBikes, we know that bikes make life great. Our goal is to make the U.S. the best place in the world to ride a bike. With your help, we can make that vision a reality.
Since 1999, thanks to your support, PeopleForBikes has worked in hundreds of communities nationwide to get more people on bikes more often and make biking better for everyone. Our more than 1.4 million supporters from across the U.S. help us secure billions in federal funding for more and better bike infrastructure and key programs like City Ratings and the Final Mile help build better bike networks right in your backyard. Since 1999, through our industry community grants program, we’ve donated more than $3.6 million and leveraged $775 million in funding for local bike projects, advocacy organizations, and education programs.
