Every year, Buffalo celebrates Bike Month. Starting in May, the city kicks into high gear, by throwing bike friendly events, rides, parties, seminars and anything else that relates to our self-propelled two-wheel modes of transport. As you can see, there’s a full schedule of events, aimed to get you out on the road. It’s time to get outside. It’s time to get social. It’s time to discover your city. It’s time to get on your bike!
Bike month is sponsored and organized by the fine people at GObike Buffalo!
A light breakfast for cyclists arriving downtown. Every Wednesday in May.
Dust off your bike and get ready to ride this season, starting with a ride down to this Bike Month celebration with bikes, beer and Mexican-inspired food! GObike will host several low-key workshops from fixing flats to learning more about bike culture in WNY. RSVP required. Proceeds benefit GObike.
