Bike Durham Essentials

THIS is what we mean when we talk about open streets!!! For one afternoon, we saw what's possible when you take the cars out of the equation. That's what Bike Durham wants us to experience: a city designed for people of all transportation methods, not just for cars. A huge thank you to the teams who made Sundays Move-A-Bull event happen: Bike Durham, the City of Durham, and the Durham County Department of Public Health. And to every vendor, performer, and instructor who filled those eight zones with life. The forecast threatened to wash us out, but you came out anyway, and we're so grateful you did. To our sponsors, thank you for believing a people-first Durham is worth building: WRAL and Fox 50, our exclusive media partners. American Tobacco Campus, The Forest at Duke, Duke Health, CityBuilder, Revel, CHWR, We The People, Spin, Alta, and Atria Southpoint Walk. This is what we're working toward, all year long. Streets that belong to people. If Sunday showed you something, help us keep it going. Become a Bike Durham member for free and help us fight to safer streets for us all.

It should never come to this. Today we are grieving. Keegan Brooks, nine years old, was hit and killed on Sunday afternoon while riding his bicycle near his home. We hold his family, his classmates, and everyone who loved him in our hearts, and we ask you to hold them in yours. Keegan was a fourth grader at Oak Grove Elementary. His family remembers a boy who made the people around him laugh, who was always there. His mother, Courtney, has one message for everyone who drives through Durham: slow down. A child should be able to ride a bike in his own neighborhood and come home safe. We are carrying that message forward, because no family should have to know this grief. Keegan's family also asked that we honor his memory with a simple act of kindness. Do one nice thing today for someone you don't know. Give a compliment. Offer a moment of grace. You never know what someone is carrying.

Move-A-Bull City is just two weeks away! Are you as excited as Mayor Leo?? On October 4, 1.2 miles of downtown Durham open to people, from the Ellerbe to the ATT. Programming, performances, and the full lineup drop soon, so stay tuned. However you move, we'll see you in the streets.

MOVE-A-BULL CITY IS ONE MONTH AWAY! @moveabullcity is back Sunday, October 4...and downtown Durham has never looked better. From the Ellerbe to the ATT, 1.2 miles of Blackwell, Corcoran, and Foster close to cars and open to people. 160+ local businesses. Food, drink, art, and so much more. Walk it. Bike it. Roll it. Dance down the middle of the street. Last year 1,500 of us showed up. This year we go bigger. 12–4pm. Free. All of it. See you in the streets. Video produced by @filly.tea!

Who's coming to the Bus Stop / Bike Lane cleanup? Join us and @KeepDurhamBeautiful this Sunday, August 16 for a morning of community service. We're cleaning up the bike lane along North Miami Boulevard and the bus stop at Miami Boulevard and Raynor Street, known by many as "The Village." No experience needed. We'll provide gloves, litter grabbers, trash bags, and all the cleanup supplies. Just wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes, and bring a water bottle if you'd like. Meet at the bus stop at Miami Boulevard and Raynor Street ("The Village") 9:00 AM to about 12:00 PM RSVP via the link in our bio!

Our board member Marc hasn’t owned a car in 20 years. So for Week Without Driving, he did the opposite and drove everywhere for a week, borrowed cars and all. He hauled sound gear, gave three people rides, got stuck in school-pickup traffic he’d have biked right past, and still carried a 20-pound bag of cat food home on his bike rack the week before. After 100 miles and a week of driving, Marc’s final verdict: a tie. The car won as often as it lost. The full day-by-day breakdown, cost math included, is on our blog now. Link in bio.

Catch us at the Durham Pride Parade this Saturday! 🏳️‍🌈 Bike Durham is rolling in the parade on Saturday, October 3, and we'd love for you to join us. Come ride, walk, and celebrate with our community. Look for us lined up along W. Main St, between Broad and Buchanan. Arrive by 11:30am so we're ready to roll together. If you can register, please do so via the link in our bio. And the fun doesn't stop there, Move-A-Bull City is the very next day, Sunday, October 4. Two days of community in the streets. See you out there!

Durham City Council just gave Move-A-Bull City the green light for October 4! Last night, Council approved the agreement establishing the street closures for @moveabullcity Open Streets. Now we need you to help us fill them. We're looking for partners to bring the day to life: community organizations, local businesses, food, and activities all along the route. If you want to be part of Durham's biggest open streets celebration, this is your moment. Sign up at the link in our bio. Co-hosted by Bike Durham, the @cityofdurhamnc, @durhamhealthnc, and the Partnership for a Healthy Durham.
