We need your help!

We are busier than ever and through financial donations from our members, we are able to accomplish great things. Some highlights of the past year are below:

Bike to Work Week
This week-long bicycle advocacy event saw over 2,200 people register their participation in 2006. Events included:

Trail Day Program
In partnership with the Forest Service, Flagstaff Biking Organization successfully recruited hundreds of volunteers to assist in this trail building program. In 2006 over 2,500 volunteer hours have been logged!

Mobile Trail Crew
Volunteers of 2-5 people trained by the Forest Service and FBO maintained trails with minimal tools and vast knowledge of the existing trail systems in Flagstaff.

Loop Trail
This 42-mile trail will eventually connect 18 miles of existing trails with 24 miles of created trails by trained volunteers to form a recreational corridor around Flagstaff that connects neighborhoods to numerous trail systems on the National Forest.

SafeKids Program
In 2006, 800+ helmets were distributed below cost representing a 500% increase since 2004! One hundred free helmets were also given to children whose families could not afford the expense. Bicycle rodeos also exposed over 1,200 children to road rules and bicycle safety.

Youth Mountain Bike Program
This developmental mountain bike program taught youths riding techniques, trail etiquette and team building skills throughout the summer weekdays from 9am-4pm.

Trips for Kids Flagstaff
As a local chapter of the national Trips for Kids Program, children from diverse backgrounds and socio-economic situations were exposed to mountain biking through FBO’s Trips for Kids program.

www.flagstaffbiking.org Website
With over 2,700 registered users, the Flagstaff Biking Organization website serves as an information tool for bicycle advocacy, trail and event information and useful forums for citizens of Flagstaff to voice their opinion on cycling related issues.

Bi-Opic Newsletter
This quarterly newsletter is currently distributed to over 25 businesses in Flagstaff and to our members with a circulation of over 3000 per cycle at no cost to its readers.

“Share the Road” Safety Campaign
FBO developed a series of television Public Service Announcements and newspaper advertisements that continue to educate the public about bicycle awareness and safely.

Group Riding and Advocacy Events
Our first annual Giro de la Luna offered a guided night ride on our Urban Trail Systems during a night of a full moon and drew over 60 people. Also, four Pancake Rides during the summer offered guided advanced, intermediate, beginner and kids rides as well as free breakfast trail ride!

These programs are inherently valuable in promoting bicycle advocacy, but, they come at a financial cost. FBO counts on your support to maintain a financially stable organization to make all of these programs a reality.
