Supporting Safer, More Connected Places to Ride Across the U.S.

BOULDER, COLO. (October 9, 2024)—PeopleForBikes is marking its 25th anniversary by launching its new Foundation Membership for individuals, providing a unique opportunity for people across the country to directly support its programs and the creation of fun, safer, more accessible places to ride. Any donation of any size makes you a PeopleForBikes Foundation member. The Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, making all donations tax deductible.

Why It Matters

Better bike infrastructure saves lives. Studies show that safer and more connected places to ride reduce injuries and fatalities for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers alike.

“Connected places to ride don’t just benefit cyclists—they benefit entire communities,” said Jenn Dice, president and CEO of PeopleForBikes. “Bikes are a solution to so many problems we face. Bikes help with physical and mental health, they are a sustainable way to move, give access to opportunity, and help revitalize communities. So many more people are involved with PeopleForBikes through our Foundation and membership is a way to recognize and reward them."

PeopleForBikes is committed to creating access to more recreational bicycling and connected bike networks that reach all communities, especially those traditionally underserved.

Partnerships and Collaboration

Our work doesn’t happen in isolation. The PeopleForBikes Foundation builds strong partnerships across sectors, uniting local communities, corporate partners, government agencies, and other nonprofits around the common goal of creating better biking and getting more people on bikes more often. Whether advocating for new bike lanes or working directly with bike industry leaders, our work is powered by collaboration and the collective passion for a better world through bicycling.
