LMB has decided to postpone our 2021 tours to next year. We came to the difficult decision that we are not confident we will be able to offer a safe and
enjoyable experience to all of our riders this summer. We look forward to riding with you next year on Shoreline West, MUP, Sunrise Adventure and HUB Fest!

Wouldn’t you rather be on a bike right now?
Flying along with nothing between you and the ground
but two tubes of pressurized rubber? Feeling the burn in your
legs as they power you through yet another mile of pure
unadulterated freedom? Because that’s exactly what a
bike means: freedom. Freedom to see the world on your
own terms, at your own pace. The chance to move like the
wind. Trouble is, it’s tough out there for people on bikes. No
respect. Nobody in your corner. Well, you’ve got us. We’re
the League of Michigan Bicyclists. We’ve got your back.
We tell the folks in Lansing what people on bikes need. We
get laws passed — like the law that said a bike rack over your
license plate doesn’t deserve a ticket, and the one that said
e-bikes are a thing and not the same as mopeds. That was us.
We got those ones through. That’s not all. We’ve got plans.
Big plans. Just one thing: they can’t happen
without you. Time to step up. Become
a member today at LMB.org/join. Let’s ride.

Improving life through bicycling. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

                40 TH ANNIVERSARY
                             1981       2021

 We envision a state where bicycling makes life better for everyone; serves
 as an everyday option for more people to commute, get around and have
 fun on roads and trails; and connects us to the natural world and each
 other. Our communities benefit through healthier people and stronger
 economies. Our transportation system becomes more equitable and
 environmentally sustainable. Our streets and trails are safe and accessible
 to people of every age, race, gender, ability, and economic status.
 Help us celebrate 40 years – join today: LMB.org/members.
