(Portland, OR) The cycling equivalent of Woodstock is coming…  but instead of joining rock fans on a muddy farm, one million cyclists and supporters  of clean, oil independent transportation will gather for celebrations and purpose filled action in 50 states for upwards of 300 rallies. More remarkable, all of these unified, localized events will roll out on the same day.

Dubbed One Million Bicycles,  it’s the brainchild of  Joe “Metal Cowboy” Kurmaskie, a nationally recognized magazine columnist (Men’s Journal, Outside, Bicycling), author of several best-selling bike books, cycling advocate and performer at hundreds of bike clubs, festival and corporate events across the country.

As the BikeTravellers website was too slow and service was disrupted, we have decided to upgrade to an even bigger server, with better connection.
