👥 Board of Directors Members Only

In celebration of National Public Lands Day coming up in September, we have been invited to host a community outreach table inside the REI Winter Park store on Saturday September 26th from 11:00am to 3:00pm .

This is a chance to connect with local outdoor enthusiasts, promote our mission, and show support for public lands. As you may know, REI actively supports national trails and was a fantastic in-kind partner for Bike 5 last year by providing free bike checks at Mead Botanical Garden.

Since this falls outside our current program funding, we are turning to our board to see if anyone can participate. We see this as a great high-visibility opportunity to share info about Bike 5 and other programs/events!

Interested in helping?

Please sign up by Friday, July 31 if you're able to commit

From the Orlando Bike Plan Website:

"The Bike Plan is the city’s strategic guide for improving its bicycling environment. To be an effective guide, it’s critical to first understand where it is we are supposed to be going.

The city is initiating a minor update to their citywide Bike Plan in 2026 following the latest national best practices for planning bikeway networks. This update will continue to be guided by the plan’s vision statement:

“In the City of Orlando, riding a bicycle is a safe and comfortable experience for residents and visitors of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. Residents consider bicycling a practical travel choice enabled by a highly connected, convenient and low-stress bikeway network that contributes to quality of life throughout the city.”"
