Bicycle tourism is more than just an economic boost—it’s an opportunity to create lively, welcoming communities where people love to live, work, and visit. This is a 4-part series on Tuesdays throughout June.
Whether it’s long-distance touring cyclists, mountain bikers, or casual riders exploring scenic backroads, communities that embrace bicycle tourism see increased business, stronger local economies, and a renewed sense of place.
This course is all about action—helping you tap into your community’s natural assets, spark creativity, engage local businesses, and create a place where cyclists want to stop, stay, and explore. From historic downtowns to rail trails, rural roads to mountain bike parks, every community has unique features that can be enhanced to attract and support cyclists.
Through hands-on exercises, success stories, and expert insights, you’ll discover what works, where to start, and how to turn small steps into big wins.
