Established in 1981, the League of Michigan Bicyclists (LMB) is the unified voice of cyclists in Michigan. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Everything LMB does rests on three pillars: Unify, Advocate, Educate. Our strategy guides how we build on them.
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
LMB’s work is held up by three pillars:
UNIFY. We bring Michigan’s cycling community together. Riders, clubs, shops, and advocates too often work in isolation. LMB gives that community one voice at the State Capitol and beyond.
ADVOCATE. We push for safer roads and better access for every cyclist. That means working with lawmakers, agencies, and local governments on policy that protects riders.
EDUCATE. We teach road and trail users their rights and responsibilities. Safer roads and comfortable trails start with everyone understanding how to share them — drivers, cyclists, and trail users alike.
Our Vision
Our vision is guided by our strategy.
Every rider deserves a Michigan where the road is safe to share. LMB works toward stronger protections for vulnerable roadway users — safer infrastructure, clearer laws, and education for drivers and cyclists. Respect for each other is fundamental to this.
Every Michigander deserves safe access to ride — on roads, trails, and everywhere in between. That access isn’t guaranteed. LMB works to win it, protect it, and keep it growing as cycling evolves.
Michigan’s trails and bike lanes don’t yet add up to one connected network. LMB works toward routes that link cities, small towns, and the outdoors, and that are safe and comfortable for riders of every skill level. Every rider should have the option to get somewhere worth going.
Cycling is stronger when we speak with one voice. LMB works to unify our cycling community to build real power at the State Capitol — so we’re shaping policy, not just responding to it.
Getting there takes work already underway: stronger vulnerable road user protections, protected and expanded access, driver and law enforcement education, funding for trail and infrastructure projects, and partnerships that open cycling to more people, regardless of income, ability, or background.
