Bicycle Friendly Business

The Ride| Bronze Level

Business Highlights: The Ride has been a very helpful catalyst in getting many of the local bike advocacy groups connected and in getting folks on bicycles in their community.  The store’s website and email list spreads the word about Bike to Work Day and National Bike Month.  This includes events such as a CEO led ride, breakfast for commuters, social rides, maintenance clinics and other monthly classes.  The store provides shower and locker facilities for bike commuters as well as a secure place to park their bikes.  The shop works to educate the community and participate in bicycle advocacy groups, and is constantly working to encourage cycling in the Arkansas community via regular group rides, volunteering at cycling events, and encouraging participation in them.    The store sponsors its own team and participates in charity rides.  The Ride serves as a hub for the cycling community to keep cyclists in touch with each other and provide opportunities for cyclists to organize rides together.
