Why Participate?
This is Sustain Charlotte's seventh year hosting Biketoberfest and we are excited to bring you more ways to experience the city than ever before.
In 2021, we are revisiting one of the original goals of Biketoberfest - highlighting multimodal transportation. What does that mean? You will not only get to explore Charlotte from Southend to NoDa, but you can choose to do so by using both the light rail AND your bike. That's right: this year's route incorporates the Blue Line, one of the great examples of public transit in Charlotte.
Your participation will demonstrate how easy it is to choose more sustainable travel within Charlotte. You can also help Sustain Charlotte provide valuable feedback to the city about how we can continue to improve biking infrastructure - all while having a fun time!
