Bike Month is coming!
May. A month when we encourage everyone to rediscover their bikes and the sheer, simple joys that come from riding. There are bike classes, events, rides going on, from the I Bike KNX Festival to Bike to Work Day, and much more. Check out the details.
We have two Ride Smart classes scheduled. This free, one-hour class is a bike ride that also teaches you how to be more confident riding in traffic and getting through intersections. Please spread the word to friends and family!
Do you want your child to learn to ride a bike? Is your child stuck on training wheels and you aren't sure how to break the habit? Come to our "learn to ride" clinic at the I Bike KNX Festival!
Want to reserve a bike to rent for the 14th annual Neighborhood Bike Ride? Just fill our this form. We ask for a donation of $15. $10 will cover bike ride costs, and $5 will go to Kickstand for providing the bikes.
