Bike Month is a statewide event where all major front range cities participate. In Colorado Springs the event has outgrown just a week or even a month. It is still called BIKE MONTH, but stretches over the summer into the fall months.
 Presented by Metro Rides and organized by a volunteer planning committee, Bike Month is a collaborative effort on the part of area employers, individua ls, not-for-profits and cycling shops to encourage bicycling, commuting and the open spaces and trails that make them possible.
Here are a list of planned Bike Clinics:
June 15th 6pm- Colorado Cyclist
