2010 Shoreline Bicycle Tour Schedule:

LMB's Shoreline Bicycle Tours - from weekend family rides to week-long fully supported tours - show that bicycle touring is a healthy, enjoyable, and inexpensive activity.

Shoreline Tour proceeds are a major fund LMB's mission of promoting bicycling and safety of bicyclists on Michigan roadways.



 

 

Join the coalition of supporters by signing the Michigan Complete Streets Petition.


petitiion-logo
Petition Language:
I join the Michigan Complete Streets Coalition in support of statewide Complete Streets policies that require state and local road agencies to design and maintain roadways for all users, of all ages and abilities.

The streets of our cities and towns are an important part of the livability of our communities. They ought to be designed for everyone, whether young or old, motorist or bicyclist, walker or wheelchair user, bus rider or shopkeeper. It is time that our state's transportation planning agencies - including the Michigan Department of Transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, local road agencies, and local governments - adopt Complete Streets policies and build a safer, cleaner, more sustainable transportation system.
 

A Guide For Bicyclists


“What Every Michigan Bicyclist Must Know” is designed to help you safely and enjoyably share the public roads and trails of Michigan with other users. Although this publication includes information about many Michigan traffic laws, it is not meant to be a legal document or a substitute for the Michivgan Vehicle Code.

This handy booklet is designed for bicyclists and is an excellent resource for anyone riding a bicycle in Michigan. Law Enforcement agencies and other organizations can request free copies for distribution.

Remember that you are ultimately responsible for your own safety. Keep yourself and your bicycle in good condition and ride within your own limits.

What Every Michigan Bicyclist Must Know is brought to through a partnership between the League of Michigan Bicyclists, the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness, Michigan Department of Transporation, and the Michigan Department of Community Health.
