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.

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.
