Save the date for the most spectacular ride with a community vibe in the upper right-hand corner of Washington. The 2025 Chuckanut Classic will take place on Saturday, September 6. Save the date to join the fun!

Washington's scenic Route 20, which leads through the North Cascades National Park, is a sublimely beautiful cycling route. It's closed throughout the winter, and you can cycle it in the summer - but in the spring, there is a magic moment when it's open sans vehicle traffic. But how and when do cyclists find out?

The board of the Mount Baker Bike Club selected new car-free Ski-to-Sea team, Huckleberry Femme, and returning team Carless Whisper to receive support. The club wants to highlight the role of cycling and encourage more teams to drop the cars in the historic Ski-to-Sea competition. The competition takes place each Memorial Day Weekend and draws participants from local, regional, and national atheletes.

A number of years ago, Mount Baker Bike Club worked with partners to locate and fund a pedicab for use by the YMCA to get folks out and about enjoying bike adventures. After some twists and turns and years in hibernation, the Pedicab has found a new home with The Airow Project helping local individuals with disabilities enjoy more access to recreation.

In a world of fast downhill mountain biking and aerodynamic road racing, I do not belong. I ride slow gravel. When I get on my bike, I leave my worries behind and enter a world of possibilities. When I roll from the road onto the gravel, when I hear that first crunch, I switch from anxiety and self-doubt to healing and growth.

If you ride every day, this is your day. You’ll see familiar faces on the streets and trails. If you haven’t been on a bike for years, but you’ve been thinking about getting going again, this is your day.

The Bellingham School district has two cycling programs. One program is for grades PRE-K to 2nd grades and use balance bikes that were purchased with donations from the cycling community. The second program is funded by the Washington DOT and administered by the Cascade Bike Club in Seattle. It's aimed at 3rd through 5th graders. Both of these programs need some volunteers to be successful!
