In May, Lexington will celebrate its second annual Bike Month and you are invited to host an event! Bike Month will celebrate riding a bicycle for transportation, exercise and/or fun while reminding drivers to slow down, pay attention and share the road.
The month-long celebration will include in-person, virtual, and self-paced events hosted by the city and community partners.
The City will host two beginner-level commuter cycling courses and a Bike to Work breakfast during the month.
The Lexington Area Metropolitan Planning Organization will also host its second annual StreetFest as part of Bike Month on Saturday, May 13. Oliver Lewis Way will be closed between High Street and Broadway to allow people to bike, scoot, skate, jog or walk along the closed street. Community organizations are invited to share resources and host performances, classes or demonstrations related to the event’s mission.
Applications for hosting an event are being accepted through Wednesday, April 26. Events should be free to the public and consistent with the principles of safe streets and safe biking. You can apply to host an event by going to lexingtonky.gov/BikeWalk. Partners interested in participating specifically in StreetFest should email jmaugans@lexingtonky.gov.
