Let’s make sure cyclists have a seat at the table as we build something that could be enjoyed by generations to come. 🚲🌲

There’s nothing quite like watching those first rides turn into BIG smiles.

These kiddos aren’t just learning to ride—they’re discovering freedom, confidence, and the pure JOY of two wheels!

Let’s get those wheels rolling…

💖 Grab a box of tissues, because we’re feeling all the emotions right now!
As we wrap up our 2nd All Kids Bike Program for 2026, we can’t help but reflect on how special this session was—especially with Max, a former participant, returning to lend a helping hand as a volunteer. How amazing is that?
A heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible sponsors, dedicated volunteers, enthusiastic event participants, and every single one of our followers and supporters! Your generosity and commitment have made an extraordinary impact.
In just the first 7 months of 2026, AFCC has been able to achieve:
🚴‍♂️ Two All Kids Bikes programs where participants received a helmet and bike (thanks to our partnership with Encompass Recreation)
🛡️ Safety education for over 300 fifth graders, complete with safety bike lights
🚲 One refurbished bike provided to a consumer in need through Lewis County Opportunities (in collaboration with North Country Cycle Works https://www.northcountrycycleworks.com/)
🚴 Two bike racks to be installed locally (in partnership with Lewis County BOCES)
🚵‍♀️ Two cycling events that welcomed over 100 cyclists each, bringing our community together during the Tour de Lewis and North Winds Gravel Classic
YOUR SUPPORT = OUR SUCCESS! Together, we’re making a difference! 🥰💪
And…we concur Luke really is the best.

🚴⚡ E-bikes are transforming the way we travel—making commutes faster, greener, and more fun. But with that extra speed comes extra responsibility.

Learning e-bike safety isn’t just about protecting yourself—it’s about keeping everyone on the road safer. Wear a properly fitted helmet, know your local traffic laws, stay visible, check your bike before every ride, and ride at a speed that’s appropriate for your surroundings.

A few minutes spent learning safe riding habits can help prevent accidents and make every ride more enjoyable.

Ride smart. Ride safe. Make every journey a good one. 💚

The City of Watertown is committed to creating a safer community for everyone who uses our streets and sidewalks. As e-bikes become an increasingly popular form of transportation and recreation, it is important that riders, pedestrians, and motorists understand the rules of the road and their shared...
