Why Should I Give ?

1. we protect the rights of cyclists

The League has been protecting your rights to safe and enjoyable cycling since 1880. What started as a movement by "Wheelmen" on high wheel bikes to get roads paved continues today with our Share the Road campaign to make sure cyclists are welcomed and respected out on the road.

2. We provide valuable education programs

Through our bike education program - Smart Cycling - we teach cyclists and motorist life-saving skills. Our national network of League Cycling Instructors set the standard in bicycle education and safety for children and adults.

3. We create better cycling environments

As the leading voice for cyclists in Washington, D.C. we advocate for more bicycle-friendly environments. Working with state and local bike advocacy organizations through events such as the National Bike Summit, we educate Congress on the benefits cycling and the needs of cyclists.

4. We promote cycling as the option of choice

We introduce cycling to countless Americans each year, especially during National Bike Month and on Bike-to-Work Day. We believe sharing our passion for cycling with others is one of the best ways to create a bicycle-friendly America.

5. You can create a bicycle friendly america

When you donate you'll have the good feeling of knowing that you're playing a crucial role in creating a Bicycle Friendly America. From state to community and business to university, we are transforming how America moves.

6. we provide a charitable deduction

The League of American Bicyclists is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

7. We will use your donation wisely

We understand the trust you are putting in us when you donate. We strive to maximize the amount of your donation that funds our programs. According to our most recent financial audit (2010) PDF, we spend 80% of our revenue on programs and only 20% on fundraising, management and general expenses.
