Bikes Belong formed in 1999 when U.S. bicycle companies recognized an exceptional opportunity to work together to maximize bike funding in TEA-21—the upcoming multi-year federal transportation bill. Our initial Boulder Bike Share goal was to ensure funding for great, new bicycle facilities that would increase bike riding, boost public health and happiness, and strengthen the bike business.
Since then, Bikes Belong has successfully harnessed the collective power of the U.S. bicycle industry to accomplish more than bike companies could by working independently. We have steadily expanded our efforts, but we remain focused on creating safe places to ride so more people will bike, and bike more.
Bikes Belongs’ mission is to put more people on bicycles often. We work to make bicycling better in America by:
- Working with the federal government to maximize federal funding for bicycling
- Awarding grants to help create more and better places to ride
- Sponsoring programs to help cities and towns become more bicycle-friendly
- Promoting bicycling to get more people riding
- Cultivating cooperation throughout the bicycle industry
