Bike Month: Have your city issue a Bike Month Proclamation

Here is one way you can help move bicycling forward in Missouri that is both easy and effective:  Ask your city council member or mayor to issue a resolution or proclamation declaring May as Bicycle Month in your city or town.

Most of these proclamations and resolutions are made by a citizen simply contacting a city council member or the mayor, asking the city to make the proclamation or resolution, and including some sample text for the proclamation or resolution.

Here are some sample proclamations/resolutions that you can modify and adapt for your city and ask your city council member to issue the proclamation or pass the resolution:

• Sample resolution/proclamation for Bike to Work Week
• Sample resolutin/proclamation for Bike Month

You can include Bike Month, Bike to Work Week, and/or Bike to Work Day in your proclamation or resolution (the language from the samples above will work for any or all of those possibilities with some slight adjustment).

It's a great way to get your community started supporting better, safer bicycling and with just a couple of weeks left until National Bike Month (May) now is the time!
