We are about making cycling in Michigan better for everyone who chooses to ride a bicycle for any reason. We have an active and diverse cycling community. People commute by bike, grind gravel and ride singletrack, they race on weekends, and pull their kids in trailers on the local trail. Michigan is a state people ride across and around.
What they share is a road system that sometimes doesn’t feel safe because it was not built with them in mind. We have an extensive trail system, both paved and natural surface, but it has gaps and lacks connections. We have a multitude of mountain bike trails, from local trails maintained by clubs all the way to world class enduro trails that are professionally maintained. And, yet, the access to these is not universally assured. Safety and access are the core of our purpose.
Our Mission
LMB works to UNIFY Michigan’s cycling community into a singular voice to ADVOCATE for enhanced safety and access, and EDUCATE road users on rights and responsibilities to promote bicycling that is safe, comfortable, and convenient — making Michigan bicycling better.
Our Strategy
Three pillars hold up our work. We UNIFY Michigan’s riders, clubs, shops, and advocates into one voice at the State Capitol. We ADVOCATE with lawmakers and agencies for policy that protects riders and preserves access. We EDUCATE road and trail users on their rights and responsibilities, because safer roads start with everyone knowing how to share them.
Our Vision
Meaningful legal protection for vulnerable road users in Michigan. E-bike access preserved, with a clear line drawn between e-bikes and higher-powered devices. A connected statewide network of trails and bike lanes tying together cities, small towns, and the outdoors. And a cycling community with genuine influence over policy, not just a reaction to it.
