Get Involved

Bike/Walk Central Florida is a dynamic community of volunteers, advocates, and folks like you, people who bike and walk for fun, fitness, or transportation. We’re not a bike club, or a walking club, but we do support local biking and walking events, and hold our own monthly ride at 6 p.m. on the first friday of every month at Loch Haven Park. We will also get together from time to time at the Cady Way Fashion Square Trailhead and ride together for ice cream, or to a local farmer’s market.

Volunteer

As part of our mission of promoting a more bikeable/walkable community, we work with local governments and law enforcement to ensure that bike/ped laws are being enforced and that our streets are designed with all users, not just cars, in mind. We provide bike valet service at some community events and serve as safety marshals for the annual New Hope For Kids Christmas light ride and could always use volunteers in those efforts. And with the approval, in September 2011, of funding for our 18-month pedestrian safety initiative, we will soon be looking for volunteers to help with data collection.

Call/write/email

We are always interested in hearing about ways we can help other organizations promote biking and walking. And we are always available to come talk to your school or community group.
