This year marks the first time we are launching Bike Month Raleigh as an official brand, organized by us and supported by local nonprofits, local and regional government agencies, parks, bike shops, race teams, social clubs, local businesses, and more, all coming together to celebrate the fun and excitement of life on two wheels throughout May.

This is an idea we have been kicking around for a couple of years now, and we are so excited to officially launch bikemonthraleigh.org!

Join us for any of the amazing events we have in store this Bike Month. To make it even more fun, grab a Bike Month Passport and get it stamped as you participate. Attend three events and earn a Bike Month patch, five events get you a free Trophy pizza, and seven events will earn you a custom Bike Month cycling musette, basically a French messenger-style tote bag.

Bike Month Raleigh brings together a wide range of groups, including local nonprofits, local and regional government agencies, parks, bike shops, race teams, social clubs, breweries, coffee shops, and many more, to celebrate the fun and excitement of life on two wheels in Raleigh.

We are excited to announce our newest programs manager, Kat Dale!

Kat is a spatial data ecologist working on "schools of fish and schools of kids." She became bike-obsessed while working on her PhD in marine science in Santa Cruz, California. When she moved to Greenville, NC in 2022 for a research position, she immediately set to work to improve the walkability and bikeability of her new community. In 2023, she applied for and received an NC DOT Safe Routes to School grant on behalf of the Town of Winterville, with whom she has now led "quick build" safety projects, youth bike education initiatives, infrastructure improvements, and chairs the town's Vision Zero Task Force.

She was awarded the 2025 NC Vision Zero Rising Star award.

Today, she is excited to leverage her passions for data science, coalition-building, youth education, and multimodal transportation for Raleigh!
