Donate to Bike Walk Connecticut!

We work for bikeable, walkable communities across Connecticut. 

Bike Walk Connecticut is making cycling and walking safe, feasible and attractive for a healthier, cleaner Connecticut.  
Our priorities for 2012-2013 include:
  • Full implementation of the complete streets law at the state level
  • Educating the public about the complete streets law
  • Statewide implementation of a Share the Road campaign
  • Training physical education teachers to deliver bike safety classes
  • Encouraging cycling through our statewide Bike to Work campaign and Discover Hartford Bicycle Tour
  • Passage of a Vulnerable Users Bill

Bike Walk Connecticut's accomplishments are made possible by the financial support of our members, bicycle shop and retail sponsors, and corporate donors.  

A few of our accomplishments include:  

  • Bicycling Advocacy
    Passage in 2008 of legislation requiring motorists to provide a safe distance of at least 3 feet when overtaking a cyclist.  In 2009 we promoted Complete Streets legislation which included the formation of a statewide Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Board.  
  • Bike to Work Campaign
    Bike Walk Connecticut grew out of the Central Connecticut Bicycle Alliance, which focused on Bike to Work events in central Connecticut.  In 2012, we sponsored a statewide Bike to Work campaign with close to 1,000 participants, and we continue to host bike to work events in central Connecticut.  
  • Discover Hartford Tour
    Bike Walk Connecticut engages over 1000 cyclists and scores of volunteers each year to discover the joys of bicycling and the many neighborhoods and parks of Hartford.
  • Outreach and Education
    With a fleet of children’s bicycles and a stable of certified cycling instructors, Bike Walk Connecticut offers bicycle safety classes for all ages and abilities.  We have worked with school systems to bring bike safety education into 4th grade classes, sponsor instructor and teacher training, and offer classes to the public.  We attend public meetings on trail and roadway projects to ensure that the interests of pedestrians and bicyclists are heard.  
  • Website and e-Newsletter
    Our website and our twice-a-month e-mail newsletter keep the cycling and pedestrian communities informed of relevant developments on the local, state and national levels.
