Eco-Friendly Promotional Products | National Bike Month 2019

Every May, cyclists across the country join together to promote National Bike Month. Sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists. The events are National Bike Month, National Bike to Work Week (May 13–19), Bike to Work Day (May 17) and National Bike to School Day (May 8). All events showcase the benefits of cycling and encourage more people to use a bicycle for their health and transportation needs.

Many large cities with miles of bike lanes such as Boston, Chicago, Portland, Ore. and Denver have special events on Bike to Work Day meant to encourage more residents to ditch their cars. Boston is holding a National Bike to Work Day Festival on Bike to Work Day and Portland is hosting the Bike More Challenge 2019 where businesses compete against each other to see who can get the most staff to ride a bike during the month of May. Some cities choose to host additional bike to work events in June with the hope of better weather. Chicago has a bike to work challenge in June called “Chicago Bike Week” that includes a two-week long competition where workplaces compete against each other, by earning points for employees who bike to and from work.

In addition to urban transportation events, National Bike Month is a great time for colleges, bicycle retailers, cycling clubs and race organizers to promote the benefits of cycling. Host a low or no cost event like a free safety inspection, helmet fitting, bike tuning workshop or organize a group ride. Schools also generally welcome bicycle experts who will do in-classroom bicycle safety presentations.

Whether you are spearheading a municipal Bike Month event or a corporate sponsor of one, promotional products will further highlight the benefits of cycling and promote your organization’s name.
