Kalamazoo Area Bike Week celebrates the many benefits and joys of bicycling in our greater community. It starts on the Saturday before Mothers Day and runs through the following Saturday. In 2024, Bike Week will run May 11-18. Plus, May is National Bike Month, and includes Bike to Work Week and Bike to Work Day! Organizing Bike Week ramps up in January.

Bike Week underscoreS the role bicycling plays in building economically strong AND Physically & MENTALLY HEALTHY communities. Its value IS greater than any one event. OUR message for bicyclists and motorists alike is to ENJOY Life by practicing the golden rule WHILE following the rules of the road. We’RE in this together.

People are bicycling for fun, for basic transportation and to stay fit & healthy in greater numbers than ever. KBW includes many group events — others can be enjoyed with friends, solo or virtually. Many events show what our diverse and vibrant bicycling community offers throughout the year.

Ride to Work Critical Mass Ride

  • Bronson Gilmore Center for Health Education 7 Healthcare Plaza Kalamazoo, MI, 49007 United States (map)

Join Bronson Healthcare's Bike to Work Group for a Critical Mass ride through beautiful downtown Kalamazoo on Friday evening, May 15.  The route will lead you through downtown and onto the KRVT for a scenic ride north into Parchment and back downtown. 

A Critical Mass ride is generally held on the last Friday of each month to raise awareness that cycling and motor vehicles can share the road.  These rides are not usually formalized beyond the direct action of meeting at a set location and time and traveling as a group through city or town streets on bikes.

Just show up with your bike at 5:01 PM.  For more information contact Mike Rowe: rowem@bronsonhg.org
