POV: riding your bike in the Hillsborough St bike lane

JOIN OUR MONTHLY RISOGRAPH MAIL CLUB! Become a monthly sustainer member at $10 or $20 a month and receive a tiny risograph print in the mail this month and for the next six months. Printed right here in Raleigh by @roundaboutriso. This month’s print is designed by our friend @justicedunne. In fact, this month’s and the next five prints will all feature unique designs by Justice, with artwork inspired by Raleigh’s greenways in celebration of their 50th anniversary this year. How it works: Go to the link in our profile, become a monthly sustainer at $10 (or more) a month, be sure to include your mailing address, and you’ll get a new print every month! Easy peasy lemon squeezy. If you’re already a member, you can also update your membership to a monthly membership plan to join the mail club! More about Roundabout Riso: Roundabout Riso is a risograph print shop run by Justice Dunne out of his home in Raleigh, NC. Justice has been offering small-run printing and custom notepad creation since 2024. Justice also hosts risograph workshops for anyone interested in creating and printing their own designs. You can learn more about the shop and sign up for a workshop over at @roundaboutriso.

Mark your calendars. The first week of October we are celebrating our greenway’s 50th birthday! More details to come. Design made by a human, and that human is @bryancouchman

“Hey, I’m going to be late. I am stuck in traffic, and LOVING every second of it!” Critical Mass last Friday had over 300 riders, making it the single largest group ride in Raleigh’s history. So, when they say Raleigh doesn’t have a bike culture, show them this. They can’t ignore us anymore! Bike Month is the best! Video from @netposer

On tonight’s Ride of Silence, we gave the 18-year-long-standing ghost bike on Nazareth Street its name. Nancy Leidy was killed while riding her bicycle by a drunk driver in 2008. Thank you to everyone who showed up tonight. Your presence means so much.

217! Happy Halloween. Stay safe out there.

‼️DID YOU KNOW‼️that becoming an Oaks and Spokes member gives you access to ride both GoRaleigh and GoTriangle buses for FREE? All members have access to Oaks and Spokes’ GoPass, which gives unlimited bus rides around Raleigh and between Raleigh, Cary, Wake Forest, Chapel Hill, and Durham. An Oaks and Spokes membership is only $25 a year, basically the cost of takeout for one dinner nowadays. It supports our work, provides insurance coverage while attending our events and rides, strengthens our advocacy impact, and gives you a say in the organization’s future as well. It is an easy way to get more involved. So the next time you pass a gas station and say, “DANG! THE PRICE WENT UP AGAIN?” consider becoming a member. Sure, not everyone can bike, commute, or walk to work. But taking the bus, or taking the bus with your bike, can make car-free commuting much more possible. Membership linked in profile.

It’s back to school! Help us raise $10,000 to reach 500 more kids before the end of the year! So far in 2026, we’ve directly served more than 540 kids through our Safe Routes to School programming. A big part of that work is bringing All Kids Bike balance bike fleets and bike education curriculum to Raleigh elementary schools, with the majority going to Title I schools. We’re now up to 18 schools, giving more kids the opportunity to learn how to ride a bike right at school! Help us keep growing this work and reach the next 500 kids.
