Bike Bemidji: Loop the Lake Festival

The Loop the Lake Festival bicycle event has been cancelled for 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.   In light of this cancellation, Bike Bemidji would like to promote other biking options:
The League of American Cyclists is promoting May as Bicycle Month.  This National Bike Month will necessarily be different.  With less focus on biking to work, we're going to focus on riding "there" whether "there" is to the grocer for essentials or to the creek and back with the kids.  Part of making progress on the League's vision is encouraging everyone to think beyond biking to work and move towards a holistic approach to integrating bicycling into as many aspects of our daily lives as possible.  Check out their website for more information: https://bikeleague.org/bikemonth

Qualifications: The Member-at-Large must have a desire to support the Bemidji Community in becoming a safe and easy place for everyone to ride bikes and to grow the idea that Bemidji is a bicycle-friendly town.
Purpose: Along with the other members of the Bike Bemidji Board of Directors, the Member-at-Large oversees the activities of Bike Bemidji and ensures that the organization is healthy and viable.  Support our Vision, Mission, and Strategy with enthusiasm.
Term of Office: The Member-at-Large serves a two (2) year term to begin and expire at the close of the Bike Bemidji Annual Meeting in accordance with the years stated below:
