Looking to Make a Difference About Bike Safety?

The Tennessee DOT is currently soliciting public input on a transportation master plan. Here is our chance to be heard on things like bike lanes, pedestrian safety, traffic technology etc. Below is a link to the survey - it takes about 10 minutes to complete.

This year, we're taking the Long Range Transportation Plan on the road, and we want you along for the ride! We're setting up booths at fairs and festivals across the state. Check out the list of events below to see if we're making a stop near you. Drop by our booth at any of these events to join in....

We had a wonderful TNR last night in support of our fellow riders from Milligan University. Thanks to all who came out!

In addition Adam Smith came up from Asheville tell us about an initiative called “Lennies Law” which would enable special bike safety zones. They are making great progress with the municipalities around Asheville on board and just needing the NC DOT to agree. Read more about this via the link below and let us know if you support something like this here.

The Leonard Antonelli and Jacob Hill Bicycle Safety Zone Act of 2025 proposes stricter enforcement to posted speed limits on popular cycling routes.

Update on Milligan Cycling Team:

Some positive news as four riders have now been released from hospital. The three remaining students continue to improve and are awaiting rehabilitation transfer.

Additional ideas on what you can do:

- if you live in Tennesse consider getting a “Share the Road” license plate. Many motorists are not aware that BY LAW they must leave 3ft of space when passing a cyclist. Getting more of those plates out there is a way to gently raise public awareness.
- also a good portion of proceeds from the plate fee go to cycling advocacy (link below)
- don’t live in Tennessee? Many other states have the same or similar laws and vanity plates
