Who we are

Our Mission is to make Nevada a “Bicycle Friendly” state, meaning not just as designated by the League of America Bicyclists but bicycle friendly in the true sense. This means that bicyclists bicycle fearlessly nearly everywhere that motor vehicles go and receive the care and respect of motorists to which they are entitled. They are fearless because there are adequately separated facilities on which to ride and they are adequately protected by bicycle considerate traffic regulations.

The Nevada Bicycle Coalition is made up of cycling groups, enthusiasts, law enforcement and government agencies throughout the entire state of Nevada. Stemming from our original public meeting with local area law enforcement to address the perceived bias against cyclists in commuter traffic, we have regular private meetings with the Washoe County Sheriff’s office, as part of the Coalition, to identify, address and promote cycling safety. Anyone who cares about making Nevada roads safer for cyclists can be considered to be part of the coalition, and we have found that that includes many more people than just cyclists. As of yet, we don’t have a mailing list, but this site will be updated regularly with upcoming events and ways to get involved. So…here’s to safe cycling!
