#VirtualEvent - Join us for Monthly #Maine #BikePed Meetups!

May 18, 2026

"Across Maine, local bike/ped committees, planning commissions, non-profits, and volunteers are working hard to improve safe, enjoyable, and practical active and #AlternateTransportation options. But we aren’t always talking to one another!

In these virtual monthly meetings, we hope we can learn from each other’s successes and challenges, get advice, and share resources in a casual setting – a forum for those already active in the bike/ped world, as well as for those who are curious about the current work being done or who want to start their own local conversations.

Meetings recur every third Monday of the month at 4 PM via Zoom (Link below). Meetings will be ~45 minutes and will consist of introductions, share outs, and time for questions! I’ll be there to facilitate and help connect folks with resources."

The Cycling merit badge helps Scouts learn how to ride safely and care for their bikes 🚴 They practice road safety, basic repairs, and ride planning.

Long rides build endurance and teach goal setting. Scouts also learn responsibility by maintaining their bikes and following safety rules. It is a great way to stay active while gaining outdoor skills ⚜️

Bicycle rodeos are a great time to add cheers, applause, and songs 🚲 These activities keep Cub Scouts engaged while reinforcing bike safety lessons.

A hand signal cheer helps Scouts remember left, right, and stop signals. A silly applause acts out riding up and down hills. These simple traditions add laughter and help safety lessons stick ⚜️
