About Us; Mission

The mission of BikeTexas is to advance bicycle access, safety and education in Texas. BikeTexas, formerly known as Texas Bicycle Coalition, was formed in 1991 to unify the voices of thousands of bicycle enthusiasts, the bicycle industry, Texas bicycle clubs and Texas-based bicycle rides and events. With the support of these members and community partners, BikeTexas seeks to develop and steward the future of bicycling in Texas and encourage bicycle use as a healthy and mainstream lifestyle and transportation choice.

BikeTexas has achieved unprecedented success, gaining statewide, national and even international prominence. Longstanding partners such as the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), the Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS), the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, the National Highway & Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the U.S. Department of Education have helped BikeTexas establish landmark programs such as the Texas SuperCyclist Program, the Texas SuperCollege Program, the BikeTexas Safe Routes to School Program, the BikeTexas Kids Kup, and many others.
