January 2025 Newsletter

Welcome New Board Members!

We are thrilled to announce the addition of three incredible new members to the Bend Bikes Board of Directors: James Teeter, Dan Pilver, and Doug Dryden. Each brings unique perspectives, talents, and a shared passion for making Bend a safer, more bike-friendly community. Their enthusiasm and fresh energy will help us with our mission of getting more people on bikes and ensuring that everyone has safe, accessible routes to ride. With their support, we are excited to continue building a vibrant future for biking in Bend. Welcome to the team, James, Dan, and Doug!

We’re also excited to invite you to join us at our upcoming events! Don’t miss Second Sunday Spokes, a monthly community ride that’s all about connecting with fellow bike enthusiasts and exploring Bend on two wheels. Plus, check out the Bikey Book Club, where we combine a love for books and bikes in a fun, relaxed setting. We also talk about current topics in bike advocacy. These events are a great way to support our mission, meet like-minded people, and celebrate the joy of cycling. We can’t wait to see you there!


Our Favorite Routes – Orchard Park to Lava Lanes

Getting across Greenwood Ave/Highway 20 can be a challenge. Did you know that there is a tunnel just across from Pilot Butte State Park? This route makes use of that tunnel. It brings you from Orchard Park to Lava Lanes and/or the Fire Station.
