Numerous organizations are coming together to produce the first ever “Cleveland Bicycle Week” 
Promoting Cycling during National Bike Month by hosting fun and educational activities. 

Thursday May 15th we will host the Bicycle Friendly Community Conference for government officials, health and wellness agencies, the media and other interested parties. 

30 riders who bike to work during Cleveland Bicycle Week will receive a different bicycle accessory each morning courtesy of NOACA!   At the end of the week, a person could potentially accumulate a free headlight, taillight, mirror, pump, lock and seatpack with a total value of $110!

Some of the events are new (Bike To The Movies), some of them are existing (Bike To Work) and some are a combination by adding bicycles (Bike To RiverSweep).  If your organization has an event between Saturday May 10 and Sunday May 18 and you would like to be added to the Cleveland Bicycle Week calendar, let us know.  If you need ideas on adding bicycles to your event, we can help.  Please take our Survey
