Find a Bicycle Mayor in Your City

There are a number of reasons to have a Bicycle Mayor in your city, but not everyone has the skills, time, or motivation to be a Bicycle Mayor. You or your organization can still get involved by committing to help us find a Bicycle Mayor in your city. Fill out the form below and we will send you a toolkit consisting of a helpful guide to the process as well as templates to help you promote the campaign. The process usually takes 4-8 weeks from initial planning to the official announcement. The organizing indiviudal or authority can decide what level of involvement they want to have.

Promote the Network and Our Work

Help spread the word about BYCS and the Bicycle Network in your country, region, city, or organization. The more people that hear about it, the more people will want to get involved, and the closer we will get to our mission of having half of all city trips by bicycle by the end of the decade. We are all in this together!
