Volunteers keep the wheels spinning here at Bend Bikes and our advocacy efforts depend on volunteer support to succeed!

Interested in Joining our Board of Directors?

We are currently recruiting!

  • Do you love to ride your bicycle to school, work, the grocery store, or just to get around?
  • Do you wish there were more opportunities to safely get around Bend by walking, biking, or rolling?
  • Do you want to roll your sleeves up and help advocate for the safety of people who bike, walk, and roll in Bend?

We are a grassroots, largely volunteer-run, nonprofit organization that advocates for the safety of people who ride bikes and for a comprehensive network of bike-friendly routes in Bend. The full Board meets every other month and board members typically work on other projects as their schedules allow.

There are many ways to get involved, including advocacy work, community outreach and education, event planning and support, fundraising, and technology projects such as maintaining and improving our bike map.We are searching for people of all ages, identities, abilities, and backgrounds who are passionate about getting more people on bicycles in Bend. Interested? Please complete our application by March 15th and we’ll be in touch shortly after! We plan on doing interviews in March/April with new board members starting in May.
