May is National Bike Month, promoted by the League of American Bicyclists and celebrated in communities from coast to coast. Established in 1956, National Bike Month is a chance to experience the many benefits of bicycling — and encourage more folks to give biking a try. As a brand that is passionate about people being active, JAMBAR supports programs and events that target new riders, seasoned peddlers and pro cyclists.
JAMBAR is thrilled to work with amazing partners, nonprofits and organizations to support National Bike Month and biking year-round! Some of our partners include: Access4Bikes, Marin County Bicycle Coalition - Mountain Gravel & Road Biking (marinbike.org), and www.tripsforkidsbayarea.org in California; and CAMBA Chequamegon Area Mountain Bike Association | Big Woods Endless Trails in Wisconsin.
