Advocacy & Encouragement

The presence of pedestrians and bicyclists in a community is a strong indicator of the health of the community. In addition to proper engineering, education and enforcement, WE BIKE helps create an encouraging environment for walking and bicycling when working with local bicycle clubs, government agencies and advocacy groups.

Partnerships with public health, school districts and communities encourages participation in national walk and bike to school days to help get communities more active.

Kid’s Bike Club

WE BIKE can help start a kid’s bike club – a way to teach a bicycle safety course to children in a fun, club environment. It encourages children to ride and explore their community safely by bicycle.
