Bicycle Advocacy

Organizations We Support

We all ride bikes! We all want others to ride bikes, too - and safely! There are numerous ways in which we can act locally and nationally to improve infrastructure for safer cycling or to improve trail accessibility and trail maintenance. In addition, we can become involved in the development of cycling for our youth and to help develop employable skills for people.

There are many ways in which we can be advocates for our sport of cycling! Below are a few cycling organizations that may spark your interest. We’d be glad to hear from you if you’d like to learn more about how you can help. Please email us at info@benidormbikes.com.
