The COVID-19 pandemic and its devastating effects have forced Americans to completely rethink how we work, gather, learn, shop, dine, access basic services and move around our cities and communities. As we changed our habits, we turned to the bicycle in droves — so much so that we have officially entered a bike boom.
Our vision for biking in America is to emerge from COVID-19 better than ever before — for bikes, for our communities and for our planet. Bikes can’t solve every issue America is facing, but they can play an important role in the recovery of our nation.
