Here's the digital edition of Urban Streets Anchorage. Be on the lookout for an article by our very own Lindsey Hajduk!

A silver-level Bicycle Friendly City (designated by the League of American Bicyclists), Anchorage is host to 248 miles of bikeable trails and bike lanes, with a network of 541 miles planned by 2028. Along with its nationally ranked system of trails, Anchorage is known as the home of fat-tire biking. If you’re riding on trails, be sure and watch out for moose!

We are excited to announce that Bike Anchorage won 2nd Place in this year's Pitch.Click.Give competition. We can't wait to start spreading the word about better biking in Anchorage. Thank you so much to our awesome team who helped us craft a killer pitch!

What is Pitch.Click.Give? Pitch.Click.Give is a unique event where nonprofits, marketing gurus and fundraising professionals come together to pitch a campaign, all in one evening.

This is a great opportunity to give back to the community, build out strategic ideas, and connect with like-minded colleagues! This event is hosted by The American Marketing Association in partnership with the Association of Fundraising Professionals, and Pick.Click.Give.

Texas 4000

Attention all bikers!  The Texas 4000 Charity Bike Ride (T4K) from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska arrives here Friday, August 10th.  This is the 15th anniversary of this amazing event. Again this year we need lots of local riders to come out to greet these incredible young riders and give them a big escort on their last 32 miles of their 4000 mile journey.  You can find out about their journey and the organization at www.texas4000.org. 

Did you miss the historical tour of early Anchorage, or the ride through the 1% for art program? Don't worry, Bike Anchorage and the Anchorage Museum are cooking up another awesome ride all about urban gardens! Be sure to check out the Bike Anchorage Calendar. 

Chugach State Park Install

Thanks to a generous grant from REI, we got to team up with Alaska State Parks to install a new bike Fix-It station, bike rack, and a shiny new informational bike kiosk at Chugach State Park! Be sure to check out all the new gear at the Prospect Heights Trailhead. We will start phase 2 later in the Fall, which includes installing over 50 fat tire bike signs throughout the park. Stay tuned for more opportunities to volunteer on this project!
