Overview
May is National Bike Month, celebrated in communities across the United States, including here in Salt Lake City! Established in 1956, National Bike Month is a chance to showcase the many benefits of bicycling—and encourage more folks to giving biking a try. In 2023, we’ll be celebrating ways to #SLCBikeThere during National Bike Month and National Ride A Bike Day on May 5, 2024. There are so many ways to celebrate Bike Month and to #SLCBikeThere: riding on May 5th for #BikeDay, biking to coffee or around the block, and during Mayor Mendenhall’s Bike to Work Day on May 16th! Check out bike routes and trails in Salt Lake City. And learn more about how to celebrate Bike Month from our friends at Move Utah and Bike Utah!
