What Can You Do?

  1. Help the Club and the community with one of the following outreach volunteer activities:
    • Elmhurst Park District Family Bike-a-thon, May 17

    • Bike-to-Work Week, Metra Station “greeters”, June 7 –13
    • Cool Cities Green Fest, August 9
      All day event in downtown Elmhurst that addresses ways you can reduce your carbon footprint. Doing 2 mile errands by bike is a good way to do that. The Club is considering leading local rides as a demonstration of this.
    Details to come soon.


  2. Call your legislators when we send out legislative alerts.


  3. Join group(s) below and participate in advocacy activities.
