September is for cycling. At least, that’s according to the campaign Lexington is participating in, Cycle September.

The international movement, which encourages cyclists of all ages + levels to commute via bike, has three goals:

  • Improve public health
  • Reduce carbon emissions
  • Lower traffic congestion

The Lexington Area Metropolitan Planning Organization is encouraging cyclists to participate by joining the online platform, Love to Ride. Through the site — which also available via an app — you can log rides, set goals, cheer on + connect with other riders, and earn badges.

Locally, the city and its partners are hosting events throughout the month to help you log some miles:

  • Tuesday, Sept. 10 | Broke Spoke LGBT Night
  • Saturday, Sept. 14 | Pedal Power Bike Clinic
  • Tuesday, Sept. 17 | Broke Spoke Women + Femme Night
  • Saturday, Sept. 28 | Seedleaf Garden Walk and Bike Tour
  • Saturday, Sept. 28 | Get Comfortable Community Ride
