At Biking for a Better World, we see riding a bicycle as an empowering, enjoyable activity, understood universally and utilized throughout the entire world. We strive to constantly transform the very act of pedaling into a force to make the world a better place. For more information, please visit Biking for A Better World's Website.

We are a certified 501(c)(3) California non-profit corporation, established January 2006. In June of 2007, the four founding members of the organization completed an immense task, biking the Pan-American highway from the northern-most road accessible point in Alaska at Prudhoe Bay to the tip of South America at Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina---over 15,000 miles in eight months, unsupported. The ride served as a catalyst to raise nearly $30,000, most of which went towards the building of a school in rural Northern Nicaragua.

Biking for a Better World's current project:

Two of the directors will tackle a September 2009 ride, Montana to Mexico, 2500 miles along the Great Divide Mountain Bike route. The project will benefit Disabled Sports, USA and their summer adaptive cycling programs. Montana to Mexico represents the fourth ride of Project A to Z, part of BBW’s goal to host 26 charity-driven, alliteratively-named rides covering all the letters of the alphabet. Previous rides, which involved our directors and which helped to spark the creation of BBW, include Buffalo to Burbank (2001), Tahoe to Texas (2003), and Alaska to Argentina (2007). With 22 letters to go, we will need members to join us in our quest to ride from A to Z. Please click on a letter for more info on individual rides and projects, and don't hesitate to contact us if you have an idea for a charity ride with a catchy name to fit in to Project A to Z.

We, at Biking for a Better World, are proud to be using Zoic apparel for our next project, Montana to Mexico, September 2009. After pulling Zoic gear more than 15,000 miles from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina in 2007, we are confident that Zoic can hold up in all conditions. The support that Zoic has offered has been invaluable and helped make our charitable adventures successful. Thank you, Zoic.
