The Great Tree Bicycle Tour is happening now!
This self-guided tour of 11 majestic trees should not be missed! The map & brochure will be available online from Friday May 19 – May 30. The approximate 10-mile round trip is suitable for riders of all skills and comfort levels. Hug a tree during Bike Month!
We are partnering with Bicycle Benefits, a program that offers discounts and benefits to customers who bike to participating shops.
Here’s how it works: Businesses become Bicycle Benefit members through FNT and sell a bike helmet sticker to cyclists for $5 each. Businesses will be listed on the Bicycle Benefits website as well as a shoutout from us.
Once cyclists buy the sticker, they are eligible for discounts or deals at participating businesses (BOGO, or 10% off etc). We’ll help with outreach to encourage cyclist participation in the program.
The cost of a starter kit is $25 and includes 10 stickers to sell to customers for $5 each, decals for your shop window and cash register and informational material. We are pleased to offer the first 20 business participants the kits at no cost — just fill out this form and we will be in touch and drop off your kit to your location.
