How We Work

Community Partnerships

Building a bike-friendly Colorado takes all of us. At Bicycle Colorado, we believe in radical collaboration—working side by side with bicyclists, nonprofits, businesses, elected officials, and government agencies to create lasting change. Together, we’re expanding access to bicycling for everyone by securing more money for essential bike infrastructure, passing laws and policies that prioritize the safety of people on bikes, and providing educational programming to help people cultivate the skills and knowledge to keep themselves and others safe.

Collaborating With Local Advocates

Real change starts at the grassroots level. From small towns to major cities, we support community-driven solutions by partnering with local leaders and residents. Whether it’s building the capacity of a local advocacy organization, helping launch a Safe Routes to School program, or helping pass a local safe streets policy, we believe change is most impactful when it’s led from the grassroots. Let’s build safer streets together.

Partnering With Businesses

Colorado businesses know that biking benefits health, the climate, and the economy. By working with us, employers in the bike industry and beyond promote bike-friendly practices, support active transportation, and grow Colorado’s vibrant outdoor economy—creating “win-wins” for business and biking.

Whether you want to support your teammates to bike more often or you’re interested in exploring ways that your business can be part of creating a more bike-friendly Colorado, send us a note at [email protected] to schedule a time for us to talk. 

Working With Elected Officials

Policy change happens when communities and elected leaders work together. Our advocacy team partners with officials at every level of government. We provide research, amplify community voices, and work across the aisle to drive bipartisan support to expand safe places to bike and advance sustainable transportation policies.

Engaging Government Agencies & Other Policy Makers

Collaboration with government agencies helps turn advocacy into action. We work closely with state agencies such as the Colorado Department of Transportation, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Colorado State Patrol, and similar agencies at the local level to secure funding and shape policies that put bicyclist safety first.
