Bike Month is an opportunity for people to try riding a bike for the first time, learn new skills,
or simply have fun and connect with new people. Bike Month invites new, learning, and experienced
riders to celebrate the joys and possibilities of cycling – from commuting to work or school, to running
errands, to minding your health – riding a bike is a healthy, sustainable, and FUN way to get around.
Log your cycling trips for a chance to win a gift card! Each trip can help reduce emissions, ease
traffic congestion, and contribute to cleaner communities. With our easy-to-use trip-logging feature on the
Smart Commute website/app, you’ll be able to log your efforts and monitor your personal stats throughout the
month. Track your trips, view your carbon reduction, and watch your impact add up to real change.
