LMB TOURS & EVENTS

Join us in 2015 as we bicycle down Michigans canopied forest roads,
past beautiful inland lakes and along picturesque Great Lakes shorelines. Well show you breathtaking scenery, magnificent beaches,
unique shoreline communities and picturesque lighthouses.
LMBs bicycle tours are a major funding source for the Leagues
efforts to promote bicycling and the safety of bicyclists on the
roadways in Michigan. In addition to our tours, LMB also hosts an
annual Advocacy Day at the State Capitol. Please support our bicycle
education, advocacy, and promotion efforts by participating in LMB
events in 2015.
$1 PER RIDER EVENTS
In 2015, 64 events have pledged to donate $1 to LMB for every

participant. We are extremely grateful for their generous contributions in support of our efforts to promote bicycling and increase the
safety of bicyclists on Michigan roads. These dollars add up quickly,
providing LMB with essential funding that helps advocate for a more
bicycle-friendly Michigan. By choosing $1 Per Rider Events, you will be

The Ride of Silence exists:

To HONOR those who have
been injured or killed

To RAISE AWARENESS that
we are here
To ask that we all SHARE THE
ROAD
On May 20th, 2015, at 7:00 PM,

cyclists in Michigan will take to
the road, joining our brothers and
sisters across the globe in the 2015
Ride of Silence (RoS), a silent procession to honor friends and family
who have been killed or injured
while cycling on public roads. RoS
is a free ride that asks cyclists to ride
no faster than 12 mph and remain
silent. Rides are typically 8 to 12
miles long. RoS, which is held during Bike Month, aims to raise awareness of motorists, public safety and
city officials that cyclists have a legal
right to the road. Check the RoS
website for full details, locations and
local contact information.
