"This is an amazing event that truly brings people together while celebrating individual effort. I love it when fellow riders ask about my spoke cards and I get to tell them about 30 Days of Biking!" – Ann Gentle, 2020 donor⁣

Bicycling is a life-changing, world-changing practice, and Joyful Riders, Inc., want to break down the barriers that keep people from getting on their bikes every day with an inclusive, supportive community and a simple push to ride together. 

Our programs include:

• 30 Days of Biking. Since 2010, 30 Days of Biking, a program of the nonprofit organization Joyful Riders, Inc., has encouraged riders around the world to get on their bikes every day in April and share their adventures online with the hashtag #30daysofbiking. An epic, inspiring community has gathered around this simple pledge. Riders have pedaled their bikes beyond 30 days, continuing for hundreds or even thousands of days in a row. http://www.30daysofbiking.com
• Joyful Riders Club. Presented by your 30 Days of Biking pals Mario Macaruso and Patrick Stephenson, Joyful Riders Club events are social rides at a friendly (5–10 mph) pace. We aim to explore our city's hidden sneaks and improve your understanding of how the bicycling infrastructure of Minneapolis and Saint Paul are interconnected. All biking skill levels are welcome and no one is left behind. http://www.facebook.com/thejoyfulriders

"I’ve participated in [30 Days of Biking] many times in the past and think this organization does a lot to magnify biking in the real world, practically and with community-based efforts, for health, fun, and environmental stewardship." – Michele Lopez-Glynn, 2020 donor⁣
