What is Bike Month?

I have seen a lot of posters around the city that say "Bike Month NYC" on them. What is Bike Month?

Bike Month is a month-long celebration every May of the fun, convenience and ease of cycling in New York City. NYC Bike Month started out as Bike Week by Transportation Alternatives and has now grown to more than 30 days of biking fun sponsored by Transportation Alternatives, City Hall, the NYC Departments of Transportation, Parks, and Health and GreeNYC. Bike Month 2009 is the biggest Bike Month ever with more than 250 events across the five boroughs. For a full calendar of events, visit BikeMonthNYC.org.

Bike Month is a great time to try out biking in the Big Apple.
