Four Ways to Inspire Others During National Bike Travel Weekend

June 1, 2016

Thousands of people all over the country — and even the world — are going on a bike overnight during National Bike Travel Weekend, June 3–5. Thank you for participating in the biggest weekend of bike travel! 

By registering your trip on the interactive National Bike Travel Weekend map, you are inspiring thousands of people from sea to shining sea. 

Will you help inspire even more people by sharing photos or video of your bike overnight adventure on your social media channels? You may just plant a seed with someone you least expect. Below are four easy ways to inspire others during National Bike Travel Weekend. And don’t forget to use the hashtag #biketravelweekend so the world can find your great stuff.

1. Take a selfie during your trip and post it on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

2. Take a group photo. Get your National Bike Travel Weekend group to pose for a photo and post it on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Tag it with #biketravelweekend and direct viewers to BikeTravelWeekend.org.

3. Take a short video, even ten seconds is fine, of you setting up camp, cooking breakfast, sitting by a fire, packing your bike, etc., and share it on your social media. #biketravelweekend

4. Let us do it! If you’re not interested in using social media and still want to inspire others, please do any of the above and email it to us. We’ll happily share it on Adventure Cycling’s social media channels.

And above all, please be safe, no taking pictures while riding, and have fun!
