BikeDFW is committed to educate, support and promote cycling in the Dallas-Fort Worth are. We hope you will join us in our efforts to encourage the safe use of bicycles for personal enjoyment, and transportation in the following ways:
EDUCATE
BikeDFW offers classes for all level of riders, from Learn to Ride, to safety, to Commuting and everything in between. Whether you or a friend are just learning to ride, or it has been a while and you need a refresher; you are embarking on using your bike as a means of transportation; or you need to learn some basic repair skills, we have the class for you!
SUPPORT
BikeDFW is building up our volunteer roster to participate in helping out at our classes, and at events we are hosting. As well as, lending a hand to other organizations and community events throughout the DFW area. This is an opportunity to contribute to and represent the cycling community in a positive way while working to make a difference in our communities.

We hope to facilitate advocacy across the region; be involved with events that help promote cycling and the benefits to our health and the environment; promote businesses in the area that are cycling friendly; and continue to encourage cycling as an affordable, viable and sustainable means of active transportation in our community.

BikeDFW’s response to COVID-19
As we all navigate the introduction of COVID-19 (aka Coronavirus) into our community, here at BikeDFW we are monitoring the situation very closely and following the guidance from public health authorities to ensure our volunteers, students and community are safe. As a community-based organization, the core of our work is providing educational opportunities to the public, creating community at events, and meeting with the public and officials for bicycle advocacy. Currently we are taking the following steps:
Community Events & Meetings
We are reviewing each event we have on the schedule for the coming months and working with the hosts of the events to determine which ones are safe to go forward with. As of this posting (3/14/2020) the following events that we were scheduled to be at/were hosting have either cancelled or postponed:
3/14 Rest, Ride & Repair Station Kick Off at Reverchon Recreation Center - Postponed
3/20-22 North American Handmade Bicycle Show - Postponed to August 21-23
3/20 NAHBS Kick Off Mixer & Silent Auction - Postponed to August 21
3/28 All Out Trinity & Bike Rodeo - Cancelled
4/1 Dallas Bicycle Coalition - Postponed
4/4 Adult Learn to Ride Class - Cancelled
4/17-19 LCI Seminar - Postponed
We are also assessing the value of handling all meetings remotely versus in-person for the indefinite future.
All Education Classes
Some of our most important work happens at our classes, and this work requires a hands-on approach that doesn't allow for the social distancing that is currently required. We are actively considering how we can continue to provide educational opportunities during this time when in-person classes are not possible. At this time, we have cancelled our April Adult Learn to Ride class, and are postponing the LCI Seminar we are hosting from April to this fall. We will continue assessing this aspect of our involvement with the community regularly and keep you all posted.
We recognize this is a challenging time for all, and we remain deeply committed to the safety of our members, volunteers, and communities.
Please take care of yourselves and each other,
Heather McNair
