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 2025, Bike Week is May 10-17. 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.

Kalamazoo River Valley Trail Cleanup Hosted by Discover Kalamazoo - Canceled

  • Kal-Haven Trailhead parking lot on 10th St 4143 10th Street North Kalamazoo, MI, 49009 United States (map)

This event has been canceled for 2020; we are including its description to illustrate some of the many bicycling related rides and events found in our greater community during normal times. Please keep that in mind as you read the following.

Discover Kalamazoo has been the Adopt A Trail sponsor of mile 0-1 since 2014 on the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail. For their spring 2020 cleanup, they would like to host a public bike week cleanup. This is a great opportunity to help clean up the trail. We will focus on trash cleanup, debris/downed tree removal and garlic mustard removal. There will be a limited number of trash pickers and gloves, so participants are encouraged to bring their own.

Meet at the 10th Street Trailhead at the Caboose at 3pm. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Sponsor: KRVT and Discover Kalamazoo
