We compile the information for and help to distribute the printed NYBikes!
Events Calendar published by the New York Bicycling Coalition (NYBC.) The Coalition
advocates for better bicycling conditions throughout the State from its offices in Albany.
Pick up a copy of NYBikes! Events Calendar at your local bike shop. Visit/join
the New York Bicycling Coalition at its web site www.nybc.net
For the past 5 years we have distributed regional
bicycling events calendars to all media sources in each NYS tourism region. The increased
media coverage of bicycling events can be attributed to Cyclotour Guide Books & the
NYBC's efforts to publicize bicycling events throughout the State.
We list events which start in neighboring States or Provinces and are
sent to us on the events listing form. Major bicycling events in States or Provinces other
than New York State are sometimes listed on a State's bicycling coalition web site. A link
to each of the Great Lakes States' and Ontario Province's bicycling organizations are on
this page, click: Great Lakes Cycling.
