Ride and Celebrate During Bike Everywhere Month

Bike Everywhere Month presented by Amazon, Microsoft and Lime is back and better than ever. So check the air in your tires, lube your chain, and get ready to ride all month long.

Every May, communities across the nation come together to celebrate the joy of biking and shine a light on how bicycling is a critical tool for climate progress, health, affordable mobility, and livable communities.

From our Bike Everywhere Challenge to Bike Everywhere Day Celebration Stations and Pedaling Relief Project food rescue and delivery rides, Cascade Bicycle Club and our sister organization, Washington Bikes, have events and activities to keep you spinning all month long.

Bike Everywhere Challenge

We are ecstatic to announce the return of the Bike Everywhere Challenge! Compete solo or on a team, log miles, and ride to glory. Keep an eye out for achievements along the way that will earn you prizes.

These achievements are designed to reward more than just the top-performing competitors. Maybe you’re a dedicated commuter who bikes in rain, sleet, or snow. Maybe you wait until the sunny months. Maybe you’re new to cycling. No matter where you are in your biking journey, the Challenge is a great way to stay motivated, track your progress, and win prizes.

May 21, Bike Everywhere Luncheon

Join more than 600 bicycle advocates, from everyday commuters to weekend adventurers, at Cascade's biggest fundraiser of the year.

The theme for this year’s Bike Everywhere Lunch is “When Neighbors Ride Together,” a nod to the power we possess when we come together and advocate for bikeable communities. Educators, local leaders, and community members will talk about the power of bike advocacy, and we will highlight Cascade’s Pedaling Relief Project, which rescues and delivers food by bike to support local food banks and reduce food waste.

Rescue and Deliver Food by Bike

Prevent food waste and support food banks in Seattle and Bellevue by joining a Pedaling Relief Project ride in May. Since its inception in 2020, the Cascade initiative has transported more than 1.7 million pounds of food and goods by bike.

Pedaling Relief Project recently expanded to Bellevue thanks to a partnership with Hopelink Bellevue Market. Sign up for a Pedaling Relief ride and help us serve our overburdened food banks while preventing nourishing food from going in to the garbage.
