Full Event Story
This World Bicycle Day Climate Ride is teaming up with World Bicycle Relief to celebrate the bike as a tool of empowerment. We are calling all cyclists to protect the planet and share the joy of cycling!
WBR has changed hundreds of thousands of lives by delivering bikes to over 700,000 folks in need of reliable transportation around the world. They are on the way to their goal of 1 million bikes. Many of these bikes support women in rural areas around the globe, and if you elect to fundraise on their behalf, raising just $165 will help fund a new bike for a student, healthcare worker, or entrepreneur.
Join us in taking a bike ride sometime between June 2nd and 5th with your friends, family, and community members to raise funds for all the great organizations that are doing good via the bike. Share your joy of adventure and raising funds for organizations by inviting your friends, family, bike club, pick-up soccer crew, neighbors, and whoever else you can think of to join you!
Let people know that the climate crisis matters to you and that bikes are an essential part to solving it. They can help you take action by donating or joining you for this event.
All you need to do is register and pick a bike route or indoor training challenge that inspires you. There are no boundaries to what you can do. Need ideas? Check out our past Climate Rises here.
When you register, you can select from our list of more than 125 nonprofits that do the hard work of protecting the planet.
And, it’s easy to start a team when you register. You can make this a group effort and have even more fun enrolling your friends and family on this day of action.

Who are the beneficiaries?
