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.
Metro Rides and the Trails and Open Space Coalition's goal is to promote bicycling for recreation and commuting purposes in a safe and fun manner. Check Colorado Springs Bike Month on Facebook for updated information!
