Bicycle Colorado

We need your help today more than ever

In the past few weeks everything has changed, including the way we fundraise. Please help us continue our advocacy in 2020 and beyond by participating in our virtual fundraiser and auction all this week!

Support our work

Make change happen where you live and ride

Since 1992, Bicycle Colorado has been working with state and local officials to make our roads more accessible to bicycles, improve safety for everyone who uses our roadways, build more mountain bike trails and bike paths, and ensure that bicycle and pedestrian projects and programs are included when transportation projects are funded.

A single voice has never gotten a bike lane, path or trail built. When we work together, we can influence policy, redirect funds and change laws so more people can enjoy riding a bike.

Six ways to show your support for bicycling in Colorado

Sign up for eNews

The first step is to stay informed. Our twice-monthly email keeps you up-to-date with Colorado bicycling news, including action alerts for making change.

Speak up

We’re tracking issues that need public input and letting you know when and how to contact officials to show support for bicycles.

Donate

We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit and depend on your donations to advance bicycling in Colorado.

Become a member

The more voices we can count, the stronger we are when speaking up for bicyclists across the state.

Display your support

Our “share the road” license plates help raise awareness of bicycling in Colorado and encourage everyone who uses our roads to do so courteously and respectfully.

Get involved locally

Find an advocacy group near you. If there isn’t one, contact us and we can help you start one.

Working together produces results

The number of people riding bicycles in Colorado is on the rise at the same time that driving is decreasing. But, only 1 percent of transportation funding is dedicated to improving roads, paths and trails for bicycling, for bicycle safety programs and other projects that give people more choices for how to travel in our state. We know we can do better for all of the people who ride a bike in Colorado.

Over nearly three decades, we have built relationships with decision makers so that bicycles are at the table in many state transportation discussions. We rely on support from others who want to make bicycling better in Colorado to get the word out about initiatives, policy changes and proposed laws … because we’re only successful at improving conditions for everyone who rides in our state when we work together.

Testimonial

“Bicycle Colorado is making bicycling better for Coloradans. Better biking means more cyclists. And more cyclists mean more bike shop customers.”

  • Tonight the #BicycleColorado team celebrated Stacey, our outgoing Development Director, with a virtual happy hour. Stacey has been an absolute rockstar for BC.
