Colorado Gives Day 2025

Colorado Gives Day 2025 is Tuesday, December 9—and early giving begins November 1. When you donate to Bike Fort Collins, you help create a safer, more bike-friendly community for everyone. Your gift supports Safe Routes to School, provides bikes and helmets to kids who need them, and fuels our advocacy work across the region.

We're Hiring!

Bike Fort Collins is hiring enthusiastic cycling advocates to join our team as Safe Routes to School Instructors. You’ll teach bicycle and pedestrian safety to students ages 3–18 across the Poudre School District—in classrooms, on skills courses, and on supervised rides—while working alongside parents, teachers, and school staff.

Take Action

Bike lanes are “no longer in the public interest” according to the Department of Transportation. Secretary Duffy and his agency are sending cancellation notices to communities all across the country, eliminating hundreds of millions of dollars in grants that had been awarded to build bicycling trails, safer sidewalks, and other important transportation safety infrastructure. 

Colorado Goes Hands-Free

New Colorado Law Bans Handheld Cellphone Use While Driving Starting January 1, 2025

To reduce crashes and make Colorado roads safer, a new state law will take effect on January 1, 2025, that bans handheld use of mobile electronic devices while driving. This means drivers can no longer hold or manually operate a cellphone or similar device while behind the wheel. Whether you’re making a call, texting, checking directions, or browsing, you must use a hands-free option like Bluetooth, a dashboard mount, or a car-integrated system like CarPlay or Android Auto.

2025 TOUR DE FARMS – PEDALS, PRODUCE, AND PERFECT WEATHER

The 2025 Tour de Farms rolled in with sunshine, fresh flavors, and plenty of pedal power! Held on the fall equinox, the ride couldn’t have asked for better conditions—a crisp morning gave way to a golden afternoon, setting the stage for a perfect day to celebrate bikes, farms, and community.

SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL

Bike Fort Collins’ flagship program, we are very proud to have started this great education initiative with the City of Fort Collins back in 2012 benefiting the next generation of cyclists. Each semester, Bike Fort Collins is proud to deliver all associated instruction to K-12 city schools within Poudre School District.
