Our mission is to improve life through bicycling. Cooperating with state and local agencies and other like-minded groups toward this goal, LMB is making Michigan bicycling better.

 

LMB advocates for bicycle-friendly policies at the State Capitol; provides financial assistance to individuals and organizations with a shared mission; develops and promotes educational materials for bicyclists, motorists, engineers, and law enforcement; runs several annual multi-day cycling tours; and provides bicyclists with an annual ride calendar featuring statewide bicycling events. Founded in 1981, LMB is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt nonprofit organization.

Our Mission:

Improve life through bicycling.

Our Vision:

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.

LMB is committed to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion.

Our staff, board, and volunteers make our organization successful. Contact one of our team members to get involved or ask a question! Interested in serving on our board or volunteering? Complete the interest form and let us know! You can also review our long-range plan.
