Give where you live on Colorado Gives Day!

Colorado Gives Day is our single biggest fundraising day of the year! We're hoping to raise $60,000 this year, and funds will all go toward better bicycling in Colorado.

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.

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 the past two 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

“I attended a Learn to Ride lesson with my younger daughter. We’ve been struggling to get her on a bike for YEARS. Tried all kinds of things with no success, and last night she went from being anxious and wobbly to riding confidently and with joy. She was beaming from ear to ear and can’t wait to get back on the bike. I cannot tell you what a literal life-changing experience this was not only for her, but for the rest of the family, so thank you so much for that, I’m profoundly grateful.”
