Public Works and Engineering > Bike Month 2008

May is National Bike Month. As the City of Houston Bikeway Program prepares for another great collection of Bike Month activities in 2008, we propose you join us to create a great bicycling celebration. There are various opportunities to participate and we’d like to count you among our partners to increase bicycling awareness in Houston this year.

	Join the Downtown bike ride on May 16, 2008 (National Bike to Work Day): Join the Downtown bike ride to City Hall for refreshments. In past rides we have been joined by the Mayor, a Senator, various Council Members and other VIPs. The Corporate Challenge has made this ride a competition. Cyclists compete for the most riders with other rides to work. Go to www.houstonbikeways. org for ride details.
	Join the The Corporate Challenge : Organize your own ride to work and compete with other rides around Houston. This year there will be more rides so be ready to have a good showing. Awards will be given in various categories so be sure to register your ride and participants
	Other Bike Riding Opportunities Are you organizing a special bicycling event in May? We will list your event and invite Houstonians to participate. We are looking to give residents more reasons to bike.
	Donations: Prizes and awards are very motivational and we appreciate donations to help put a ring to cycling. In the past we have received prizes, gift certificates and in-kind contributions. These donations have ranged from bicycles, to accessories, free week-end get-aways, free dinners, refreshments and numerous other prizes.
	Sponsorships: Would you like to sponsor an event to promote cycling or recognize event winners? In the past, we have awarded catered recognition lunches to increase participation and held cycling parties, biking to the event, to get everyone in the spirit of cycling.
