PeopleForBikes also brings the power of the global bike industry to Northwest Arkansas

PeopleForBikes, the U.S. bicycle industry's trade association and national advocacy nonprofit represents 325 bicycle industry supplier members and 1.4 million individual supporters, planted its flag in Bentonville, Arkansas, in September 2020 to support increased bicycling through local businesses. Today, our dynamic team operates from The Ledger, the first ever bikeable office building, and works to connect and engage the bike industry with the Northwest Arkansas community through events, networking, continuing education, and Ride to Work Wednesdays, a commuter program encouraging businesses to get their employees biking to work.

Once a month, PeopleForBikesNWA hosts a pop-up commuter station in support of Ride to Work Wednesday that is open to all members of the community. The station offers a fun way for riders to start their morning, opening up the opportunity to socialize with other commuters and community members over coffee and breakfast.

If you have been looking for a way to try a gravel ride, but are not sure where to jump in, then this is the ride for you! Our gravel ride is fully supported (support vehicle with food and water follows the group the entire ride) and is a no drop ride.
