Pedal Up! NC

Using pedal power to educate, engage, and empower people of all ages and abilities.

[John Tallmadge (he/him) @jdttransit]

Congrats. It seems like @RaleighTranspo is having greater success at moving active transportation projects to completion than @CityofDurhamNC. Are there lessons you could share? @BikeDurham @OaksAndSpokes

[Cycling UK @WeAreCyclingUK]

Did you know that over 1/2 of adults say that drivers overtaking too closely puts them off cycling in the UK?

We want everyone to experience the joy of life on the bike. If you're out driving this weekend, please don't pass #TooCloseForComfort.

RT to spread the word.

Going to be taking some days off work next work, looking at hitting the reset button with all things Pedal Up! NC. It took a back seat to getting through the working day during this pandemic. Time to get back in the saddle.

Whether you're an old hand at riding a bike or new to cycling and all the possibilities it brings, this is worth a look. #pedalpower #cyclingsafety #cyclenc

Could your community use free bicycle helmets? Our annual Bicycle Helmet Initiative is taking applications from community groups until Jan. 6. Wearing a helmet can reduce brain injuries by 88 percent!
➡️ To apply, visit https://t.co/nIytt4Hn6V search “helmet initiative.”

I added Aerosmith ft. Run DMC to this video of the shadow of a millipede walking and it has amused me more than it should have done.

[Pedal Up! NC @PedalUpNC]

Saw this today from the folks at the @guardian "Do cyclists think they're above the law and does it even matter?" https://t.co/i337Oqqhxu

[Pedal Up! NC @PedalUpNC]

Love this. #pedalpower https://t.co/WlCyGy10XM

Couldn't agree more.

[Pedal Up! NC @PedalUpNC]

Can't put it any better than this.

[MayorofBikeboro @mayorofbikeboro]

Invite your local officials and economic development leaders, too! Keynotes and sessions on ROI for bicycle and pedestrian facilities, public health and its relationship to walking and biking, and more! Check out the keynotes and agenda at https://t.co/6f5JfU56EJ

[Pedal Up! NC @PedalUpNC]

We know about the health benefits, but this piece from @peopleforbikes shows adding in the economic benefit creates a huge pedal-powered engine helping to improve the lives of every member of our communities, cyclist and non-cyclist alike.

[PeopleForBikes @peopleforbikes]

New findings from @WaltonFamilyFdn validate bike riding as a regional economic engine that supports local businesses, attracts tourists and builds healthier communities. https://t.co/vTscr0quEh

The good thing about cycling is that it brings you closer to nature. The bad thing about cycling is that it brings you closer to nature. https://t.co/cjh2cKAzGD
