Criteria for inclusion in the Calendar:
A major bicycling event
is open to folks other than the club or sponsoring organization's
members and may have
sponsorship support from a business or a public entity. A fee may
or may not be charged.
It might benefit another group (charity or otherwise), a bike club, the
sponsoring
organization, or the bicyclist. Regular or intermittently (e. g., once a
month) scheduled
club rides are listed
only if they have a significant purpose and at the discretion of this Calendar's compiler.

on your or event's web site? Yes? No?
Have you placed a "hot" direct link to the NY
Bicycling Coalition ( http://www.nybc.net ) on your or your event's page? Yes?

No "hot" direct link to both
Cyclotour Guide Books and the New York Bicycling Coalition, no listing of your sponsors
(making it harder for the event to gain more sponsorships. Hey, this is free advertising
on two different web sites plus in a printed calendar with 50,000 copies distributed and a readership of 2 per copy equalling an
approximate readership of 100,000.
Miscellaneous Information
We will list major bicycling events from Ontario, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut only if they are sent to us using the
Events Listing Form. To go directly to the Events Listing Form, at the bottom of this
page.
Click here: Events Listing Form.
We compile the information for and help to distribute the printed NYBikes!
Events Calendar published by the New York Bicycling Coalition (NYBC.) The Coalition
advocates for better bicycling conditions throughout the State from its offices in Albany.
Pick up a copy of NYBikes! Events Calendar at your local bike shop. Visit/join
the New York Bicycling Coalition at its web site www.nybc.net
For the past 5 years we have distributed regional bicycling events
calendars to all media sources in each NYS tourism region. The increased media coverage of
bicycling events can be attributed to Cyclotour Guide Books & the NYBC's efforts to
publicize bicycling events throughout the State.
We list events which start in neighboring States or Provinces and are
sent to us on the events listing form. Major bicycling events in States or Provinces other
than New York State are sometimes listed on a State's bicycling coalition web site. A link
to each of the Great Lakes States' and Ontario Province's bicycling organizations are on
this page, click: Great Lakes
Cycling.
The 2002 and 2001 Major Bicycling Events in New York State
Reports can now be read or downloaded directly from our web site. These Reports
analyze number of participants and sponsors of these events. To read these Reports,
Click: Bicycle Events Reports
If you find this Report information helpful, please send me an email (subject
line: bike event) and I'll try to analyze the 2007 Major bicycle events data. If you
or your organization is flush with cash and wants to provide a tax deductible reseach
grant to the NYBC for the analysis of the 2007 or 2008 data please contact the NYBC.
