Get Your Ride On!

National Bike Month

National Bike Month is a success because of the countless, diverse local events organized by dedicated bicyclists in their communities, organizations and workplaces. These events challenge people to ride bikes a little bit farther and others to bike a little bit at all. If we could get just one person inspired to make riding a bike a bigger part of their everyday life, we’d consider that a successful Bike Month event!

CDOT Bike Month 2026

May is National Bike Month, a nationwide celebration of bicycling that encourages more people to try riding a bicycle for everyday transportation. Through intentional programming and partnerships, CDOT supports Bike Month with the goal of helping residents feel more comfortable and confident bicycling on Charlotte streets, contributing to a safer, more connected, and multimodal transportation network.

Free Bicycle Skills Class Series

Throughout the year, CDOT hosts free bike skills classes taught by a certified instructor. Covered topics vary, but each hands-on class ends with a short group ride to practice skills.
