Bike Everywhere Month (BEM)
May 1-31, 2025
BEM is a free event that celebrates kids on bikes. The warm-weather bike season is just getting started… Register your family, class, or entire school to get started!
Register as a classroom or family to get updates from us throughout the month about activities and workshops. You will also receive a free online Activity Kit via email to help kids map their rides, do scavenger hunts, challenge their skills, and more!
Register for Bike Everywhere Month by May 1st for a chance to win a $100 gift card to Fete Ice Cream & Coffee.
Why Participate?
Feel Good
Bikes + spring weather + quiet streets = exploring your neighbourhood at a safe distance from others.
Learn Better
Schooling has been extremely tough this year. With outdoor activity and fresh air, kids can focus better when they need to be working indoors.
Lessen your Impact
Now is the perfect time to leave the car at home more often, reducing emissions and air pollution!
Ideas for Teachers
Incorporate a lesson from the Active and Safe Routes to School Handbook into your curriculum for the month.
Bike to school yourself to encourage participation
Greet your students at the bike racks at the start of each day
Make a “scoreboard” to keep track of how many bike trips your students have made throughout the month. It doesn’t have to be competitive and can just be fun!
