Bike Advocate Toolkit
Here in our bicycle advocate toolkit we’ll post ideas for actions you can take to grow and enhance bicycling in your community and resources you can use as a starting point. Sign up for our e-news and you’ll receive news about state and local advocacy and events.
Tell us when you take action for better bicycling by tagging us on Twitter and Facebook so we can highlight your efforts here to inspire others. Learn from others and share your success at the annual Washington Bike Summit presented by Cascade Bicycle Club and sponsored by Washington Bikes.
Bike Month or Bike to Work Week proclamation: Ask your mayor and city council to proclaim May Bike Month in your town. Let reporters know when the proclamation will be voted on and bring people who represent all kinds of bicycling to accept the proclamation.

- Download the document and editor for your local context. Contact us for updates to statewide information such as our Bicycle Friendly State ranking (#1 2008-2015; results announced each year in May).
Bike Challenge: Start a local commute or “bike to everything” challenge. We hold the #BikeEverywhere Challenge, which you can use if your community doesn’t hold a local one.
