Why Bike?

Bicycling provides an enjoyable and healthy mode of transportation. Research indicates that cycling can enhance mood, memory, and metabolism, while also reducing carbon emissions and environmental footprint. These are all compelling reasons to start pedaling!

In addition to shifting your trips, we hope you’ll track your miles on Love to Ride’s website.  Once you’re registered, you can also sign up for their National Bike Challenge.  Create your own goals and connect with other bicyclists.

#MakeEveryRideCount this Bike Month! With the Love to Ride app:

  • Everyone is invited – from regular riders to those who haven’t touched a bike in years (or ever!).
  • Rate your routes by ‘painting’ with your finger to share how comfortable you felt on each part of your ride! Every logged ride contributes to anonymous data that helps planners make informed decisions for better biking infrastructure.
  • Ride anywhere, any time! Whether it’s to work, to the store, or a spin around the park, every ride paints a picture of what biking is like in your community.
  • Enter to win prizes every month by logging your rides with the app.
  • The #MakeEveryRideCount initiative marks the official launch of Love to Ride’s game-changing app. Or should we say ride-changing? The app not only helps to make biking better, but also makes your biking experience easier and more fun!
