Twin River Cyclists and the League of American Cyclists promote the use of the bicycle for transportation. May is National Bike Month.

2011's Bike to Work week is May 16 through the 20th. Friday the 20th is Bike to Work Day.,

The weather's just getting good. Help us out by signing up for our bicycle commuter registry. We'd like to know who commutes where so that we can have commuters ready to be bike buddies and liasons to local employers for next spring's events.
