The League of American Bicyclists has created a step-by-step guide to help communities and organizations create National Bike Month events.

While the guide often refers to "Bike-to-Work Day" events – since they are the most popular type of event – the tips and techniques in the following pages will help you plan any Bike Month event, from citywide rides to small gatherings within a company or organization.

While May is National Bike Month, Chicago Bike Week and Active Transportation Alliance's Bike Commuter Challenge will be June 13 to 20, 2014.
