Program accomplishments

  • Bike the Cbus: Bike the Cbus is our signature event each year. It is a self-guided ride held in September highlighting Columbus unique and evolving center-ring neighborhoods.

    Expenses $11,646
  • Advocacy Summit: Yay Bikes takes an active role in trying to actively influence the conditions that help people safely and comfortably ride bicycles for transportation. To accomplish its mission, the organization continued its annual tradition of hosting an annual Mobility Justice Advocacy Summit event. The goal was to form a coalition of like-minded organizations across Columbus and Central Ohio, focused on creating a better place for people to ride bikes. The idea is to collaborate and create change through shared resources, contacts and action. This years event was co-hosted by Transit Columbus and featured a panel consisting of mobility leaders from Columbus City Council, COTA, City of Columbus, and the Frankin County Engineers Office. It also included small group discussions and a group SWOT analysis for mobility justice activity in central Ohio.
    Expenses $6,131

    Expenses $3,472
  • Ride of Silence: This annual ride honors cyclists killed or injured on public roadways, and raises awareness of cyclists right to the road.
