May is National Bike Month
Established in 1956, promoted by the League of American Bicyclists, and celebrated in communities from coast to coast. National Bike Month includes several opportunities to celebrate biking. Albuquerque has been participating in National Bike to Work Day for over two decades and launched an expanded celebration of National Bike Month in 2025, with several community partnerships.
