May is National Bike Month: Norfolk and cities across Hampton Roads are gearing up for pedal powered fun!

Press Release

NORFOLK, Va. — This May, shift your gears to two wheels and pedal for power for Norfolk Bike Month, which celebrates the many benefits of a bike lifestyle and how Norfolk keeps getting better for bikes.

Residents can celebrate the 12th annual Norfolk Bike Month in a variety of ways to let the good times roll safely — whether it’s a family trek through the Northside Park Bike Trail, a solo ride on the Elizabeth River Trail or meeting fellow bike enthusiasts at Bike Month signature events like the Norfolk Bike Expo and Glow Ride VII. Download a printable and sharable calendar that links to each day’s events and choose your own Bike Month adventure.

New this year, enjoy the Granby Street bike bypass through Lafayette Park, the innovative new Glow Line at Jeff Robertson Park and expanded, upgraded path along Water Street and Park Avenue near Harbor Park and Norfolk State University.

Norfolk Bike Month is also an opportunity to remind bicyclists and motorists to be safe and vigilant while on the road. In 2019, the City adopted a Vision Zero resolution — an initiative to create a safer environment for all who travel through Norfolk whether by foot, bike, scooter or vehicle.

Motorists are reminded to:

Share the road with cyclists. Bikes are allowed on City of Norfolk streets whether in a bike lane or not.

Keep a distance of at least three feet when passing a cyclist on the street. It’s the law!

Watch out when opening car doors when parked on a city street.

Follow the posted speed limits. Speeding can have fatal consequences for both motorists and cyclists.

Bicyclists are reminded to:

Follow the same rules of the road as a vehicle. Stop at stop signs and yield to pedestrians. Bike with the flow of traffic.

Wear a helmet! Helmets are mandatory for those 14 years of age and younger.

Be Seen! Wear bright clothing in the dark and use a white headlight or red taillight at night so others can see you.

Use the bike lanes and buffered bike lanes. If you must ride on a sidewalk, be courteous to pedestrians. Riding on sidewalks is prohibited downtown.

Park responsibly at designated parking corrals or bike racks. Do not park in front of building entrances and do not block sidewalks or pedestrian access.

Norfolk Bike Month is sponsored by Lime and presented in partnership with the City of Norfolk, Downtown Norfolk Council, Hampton Roads Transit, TRAFFIX, Elizabeth River Trail and community partners.
