Bike Durham

Our vision is for safe, affordable and sustainable transportation for everyone in Durham.

We provide a unified voice for bicycling, walking, and riding transit by promoting a healthy, safe and accessible experience for all in a vibrant, engaged community.

Every cyclist should know their rights on the road, and what to do if the worst happens.

Join us and North Carolina Families for Safe Streets for Watch for Bikes: A Conversation on Cyclist Rights.

Bike Law attorney Ann Groninger will walk us through what the law says, what your rights are, and the steps to take if you're ever in a crash. We'll also screen Changing Lanes, a documentary about one Brooklyn neighborhood's fight to make a dangerous street safer.

Free to attend, with donations supporting safer streets for everyone who rides.

Meet Desiree, our Education Program Manager.

This year, Bike Durham is bringing bike safety education to 2,000+ students across 12 Durham schools, teaching kids to balance, navigate the road, and ride safely. And through our partnership with the Durham Bike Co-op, we give bikes to students at every school we visit.

For a kid whose family can't afford one, a bike means independence. As Desiree puts it, it's like your first car.

We're raising $7,000 to fund this year's program. If you can help get more kids on bikes this school year, please give today: https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/get-kids-on-bikes-this-school-year?source=facebook

Who's coming to the Bus Stop / Bike Lane cleanup?

Join us and Keep Durham Beautiful this Sunday, August 16 for a morning of community service.

We're cleaning up the bike lane along North Miami Boulevard and the bus stop at Miami Boulevard and Raynor Street, known by many as "The Village."

No experience needed. We'll provide gloves, litter grabbers, trash bags, and all the cleanup supplies. Just wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes, and bring a water bottle if you'd like.

Meet at the bus stop at Miami Boulevard and Raynor Street ("The Village")
9:00 AM to about 12:00 PM

We need YOU! Because Move-A-Bull City doesn't happen without volunteers.

On October 4, we're closing 1.2 miles of downtown Durham to cars and opening the streets to people, from the Ellerbee to the ATT. Making that happen takes a crew, and that's where you come in.

Volunteers are the reason the streets stay safe, the activities run, and the thousands of neighbors get to walk, bike, and roll through a car-free downtown. Whether you can give a couple of hours or the whole afternoon, there's a spot for you.

Durham City Council just gave Move-A-Bull City the green light for October 4!

Last night, Council approved the agreement establishing the street closures for Move-A-Bull City Open Streets.

Now we need you to help us fill them.

We're looking for partners to bring the day to life: community organizations, local businesses, food, and activities all along the route. If you want to be part of Durham's biggest open streets celebration, this is your moment.

We have a Ready to Ride class coming up on August 9, and we're looking for students who know how to ride but want to feel steadier doing it.

You'll spend the whole session on the bike in a safe, traffic-free space, sharpening the handling skills that make riding feel easy: steering, quick stops, weaving around obstacles, and avoiding the ones that come out of nowhere. It's all built on defensive cycling principles.

It's the natural next step after Learn to Ride, but everyone who already rides is welcome.

Sun, Aug 9, 2pm–6pm
112 Broadway St
Sliding scale pricing, so cost is never the barrier.
