NYBC: Uniting the Movement for a Bike-Friendly New York!

Our Mission

Our mission is to support and unite the movement for safe, fun, and accessible cycling and walking for every New Yorker.  We believe that cycling and walking are essential to joyful recreation, affordable and equitable transportation, prosperous local economies, cleaner air and reduced climate impact, and improved mental and physical health.

Since our founding in 1990, NYBC has served as the only statewide organization focused primarily on cycling. We:

• Advocate for state, federal and local policies and infrastructure investments that improve road safety for every New Yorker.
• Educate bicyclists, walkers, drivers, and law enforcement officers about how we can be safer together. 
• Build a strong biking and pedestrian community across New York by hosting events, sharing information about NYS Bike Laws, supporting cycling tourism, and sharing resources from across the state.
  
  

Our Vision

NYBC envisions a future where New York is the safest and most bike-friendly state in the nation with excellent bicycling and pedestrian infrastructure, a vibrant cycling community, and laws that protect and support bicyclists, pedestrians, and all vulnerable road users. It’s a future where  every New Yorker - regardless of age, ability, income, or background - has safe and enjoyable access to biking, walking, and rolling for transportation and recreation.

From kids biking to school and families exploring together, to car-free transportation riders, racing enthusiasts, and tourists discovering New York by trail - if you are walking, biking, or rolling in New York, NYBC is working for you!
