Supporting Your Cycling Projects

BAW isn't just about our events. We’re here to support your ideas, too.

Have a vision for a local ride series, a bike safety workshop, a gear swap, or something completely new? Let’s make it happen together.

We want to:

  • Support your passion projects with guidance, promotion, and encouragement.

  • Share resources - from equipment to contacts - to help you get started.

  • Collaborate to bring your ideas to life, whether they’re grassroots or group-based.

If you’re planning a project and want BAW’s help, we’d love to hear from you. Contact us or join our meetings to share your ideas! We’re building a culture of co-creation, where cyclists help cyclists, and no idea is too small to matter.
