The Bicycle Coalition of Maine, the organization that brings BikeMaine to you, is a statewide, membership-driven advocacy group that works year-round to make Maine better for biking and walking. 

With the support of our contributing members, the Bicycle Coalition of Maine staff, board, and volunteers work tirelessly to expand bike culture in our state, to educate our residents and visitors about how to share the road, and to make our roads safer and more accessible for bicycling. It's also these persistent efforts that contribute to a great BikeMaine event each September and a remarkable tour for you. We hope you'll  join the Coalition as a member and lend your support to our efforts to improve biking in Maine!

Many of you asked about how you could work to make your towns more bike-friendly. If you live in Maine, please consider joining our  Community Spokes Program. We'll train you how to be an advocate for better biking and walking and provide technical support and access to our state-wide network every step of the way. Our next training is on  November 9th  in Farmington and you can sign up  here .  If you live outside of Maine, we have lots of resources  here . Finally, if time is tight, the simplest and quickest thing you can do is to simply meet with your elected and municipal officials and tell them you want your town to have streets that are safe for biking for all residents, no matter what their age, ability or fitness level is!
