We’re proud to organize Central Iowa Bike Month. Here’s how to make next year’s events even better: Join us!

Become a Des Moines Bicycle Collective member and support our work to transform Central Iowa communities by making bicycling safe, convenient, and accessible.

Every time you ride to work, to a meeting, or to the grocery store, you help power the two-wheel movement toward safer streets and better biking.

Your Collective membership strengthens our collective action.

“My annual membership has been a great way to gain access to the bike stand and tools needed to work on my bike, while also greatly benefiting from the knowledge and experience of the staff and volunteers. This beats working in my garage!”
— John Moreland, Collective member #1
