Welcome to Simsbury.Bike!

         

MAY IS BIKE MONTH!  Check out our 2022 Bike Month Calendar, packed with classes, rides, and events. This year's theme:  Bikes for Transportation, Bikes for Fun. 

    

Make the Bike-To-It! Pledge to take one or more bike trips for transportation during Bike Month. There will be prize drawings/awards for Individual riders and Groups (household, club, troop, workplace, school) that help us reach our goal of 350 trips.  Record your trips on paper or use online logging - whichever works for you.   Learn more.  

    

May also marks the opening of the 7th annual Simsbury Bike Challenge (May 1 - Sept. 30).

   

Show your support for a bikeable Simsbury by attending the Board of Selectmen Community Ride on TH., May 19 at 5:00 pm. We'll take a casual 5 mile ride on the multi-use trail.  We hope you will ride with us!

National Bike Month celebrates all the reasons people ride — for fun, fitness, transportation, and health; and all the ways bicycling makes communities stronger —  like boosting the local economy and community spirit.
