Virginia Department of Transportation Promotes Bike Month This May
Richmond, VA — As May unfolds, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is encouraging residents to celebrate Bike Month by getting on their bicycles. This initiative aims to promote cycling as a fun, healthy, and eco-friendly mode of transportation.
Bike Month is an annual celebration that highlights the benefits of cycling, and this year, VDOT is urging everyone—from seasoned cyclists to newcomers—to participate in various biking events across the state. Residents can engage in local activities, including community rides, educational workshops, and safety demonstrations designed to foster a culture of cycling in Virginia.
VDOT emphasizes the importance of cycling not just for personal health but also for reducing traffic congestion and lowering carbon emissions. Cycling is a sustainable transportation option that contributes to cleaner air and healthier communities. By promoting bike-friendly infrastructure, VDOT is working towards making Virginia more accessible for cyclists.
Throughout the month, municipalities will host special events to encourage both recreational riding and commuting by bike. Residents are encouraged to check local event calendars for opportunities to join group rides, participate in competitions, and learn more about bicycle safety and maintenance.
Whether riding for leisure or using a bike for daily errands, VDOT celebrates everyone’s unique journey on two wheels. Residents are invited to share their biking experiences and photos on social media to foster community spirit and inspire others.
In celebration of this month-long initiative, VDOT calls upon Virginians to gear up, pedal forward, and make cycling a part of their daily routine. Join the biking movement this May and discover the joys and benefits of riding a bike.
