May is Bike Month

Ready to build healthy habits through biking this May? This Bike Month, we challenge YOU to bike 31 or 151 miles in 31 days at your own pace.

Virginia Beach is an award-winning, 'Bicycle Friendly Community' with over 300 miles of bikeways and trails, including trails in over 230 parks and natural areas, 27 miles of unpaved paths in two state parks, and a federal wildlife refuge.

During the month of May, participate in our self-guided 31in31 or 151in31 challenge, then come back here to fill out the form and claim your badge of honor - a super cool, super-exclusive sticker to show off your biking prowess, perfect for water bottles, bumpers, or anywhere else you want to rep it. 

Then, head to the rec center you selected to pick up your sticker!
