We're just a few days out from our ROC 'n Roll Fundraising Ride! We want to thank all of the amazing event sponsors who support this event and our work championing mobility in all its forms year round! And thank you to all the Raffle prize donors!

Reconnect Rochester was proud to sign onto this New York State Safe Streets Coalition letter about common sense e-bike legislation. When talking with electeds at all levels about e-bikes, these are excellent points to emphasize.

Join us for our first of 20 Wednesday rides tonight in Charlotte! Gather outside California Rollin’ II beginning at 6:30pm for a prompt 7pm departure. We’ll ride 6.3 miles of trails at a 9mph pace.

Point well made, and worth repeating over and over. #UrbanTruth

Legislators have effectively run out of time to move forward on proposed e-bike registration rules this year. The state’s late budget process pushed transportation legislation to the sidelines, meaning major e-bike registration proposals are unlikely to return until 2027. electrek.co/2026/05/25/w...

Bike donation drop-off Saturday!

One week out from our ROC 'n Roll fundraiser! Hope to see you at Rohrbach's Railroad Street Beer Hall on the 31st!

The grocery store that I usually go to is about 1.5 miles from my house On Monday, it was like 95 degrees so I took my e-bike rather than my standard bike to turn a ride that I probably would have gotten sweaty from to a ride that was no sweat (even as I wore a backpack) E-bikes are great

Looks amazing! A combination train and bicycle adventure through Wyoming County, hosted by the Arcade & Attica Railroad and the Genesee Valley Pathfinders! gvpathfinders.com/2002/06/06/0...

For anyone who's new to bike riding, or just getting back into it after a long time, this is probably our most recommended book. Pass it on!

The annual Ride of Silence, a solemn ride to remember cyclists killed or injured on our roadways, is tomorrow evening at the Liberty Pole.

The Dutch landscape hides an engineering marvel in plain sight: thousands of miles of smooth, signed, scenic cycling paths connecting every remote corner of the country. The payoff? A cycle tourism economy worth €2 billion each year. Proof that when you build for bikes, people (and places) prosper.
