Whether you have experience commuting by bicycle, have just begun, are considering bicycle commuting for the first time, or have friends or family members who commute by bicycle, we hope that you find this website helpful.
Take the Survey
We conducted a survey to learn why Louisvillians do or don't commute by bicycle. You can read an analysis of the results at cartky.org.
Chat with Local Bicycle Commuters
UtilityBike is an email discussion list for people who use bicycles for transportation. UtilityBike allows you to get and share advice on equipment, riding techniques, local conditions, etc.
