The Bicycle Coalition of Maine stays busy with events all year round to connect with as many pedestrians and people on bikes as possible in a variety of ways. We seek to educate adults and children about bike/ped safety through presentations and courses, host interactive demonstrations that advocate for improvements to bike/ped infrastructure, provide valet bike parking at local events, and organize gatherings and group rides to raise awareness and enthusiasm about our mission.
To see what the BCM is up to this year, check out our 2024 Event & Program Guide!
The event calendar below lists our upcoming events and those hosted by our partners and supporters. Check it out, and join us as we strive to make Maine better for biking and walking!
Everything You Need to Know About E-Bikes

Whether you want to go faster, give your body a boost, or just travel more confidently in traffic, special guest Steve Gerhartz of Seacoast E-Bikes is here to answer all your questions. He’ll be discussing the types of electric bicycles available, how they can enhance one's riding experience, e-bike laws, proper etiquette, and advice for maintenance.
