2025 was a milestone year for Bike Westport. We turned visibility, participation, and advocacy into real momentum for safer, more connected streets across town.
This year, we showed up everywhere—from community events like Kick-Off to Summer, Slice of Saugatuck, Westoberfest, and the Farmers’ Market—to schools and neighborhood streets. More than 1,000 community members signed our pledge for a more walkable, bikeable Westport, and families joined us for Rise & Ride events at Kings Highway School and Long Lots Elementary to choose active transportation together.
We also hosted Westport’s first-ever Bridge-to-Bridge Community Walk, showing how Riverside Avenue can become a safe, bike- and pedestrian-friendly connection between the train station, Saugatuck, and Downtown. Behind the scenes, we supported the Town with grant strategy and recommendations to help advance real funding opportunities—and we’re proud that our Co-Director, Jenna Petok, was elected to the Westport RTM.
Everything we accomplished in 2025 was powered by volunteers, partners, and neighbors who believe safer streets benefit everyone. As we head into 2026, we’re excited to expand community rides and walks, grow school programs, advocate for safer street design, and continue bringing funding to Westport. Thank you to everyone who rode, walked, volunteered, signed the pledge, and advocated alongside us—let’s keep building together.
