Bike Newport is helping democratize transportation, promoting healthier and more climate-friendly living, reducing congestion on our streets, and helping people discover (and re-discover) the joy of riding a bike.

Thank you for making our work possible with your support!

Thank You to Our Supporters
Who Have So Far Donated in 2025

Your generous support powers our success!

Thanks to our supporters, bike education programs in island schools are expanding, studies are in the works for paths on our bridges and along the rail corridor, and street infrastructure is getting safer. Together we’re making progress! 

When you support Bike Newport, you’re helping shape a future where movement is healthy, streets are welcoming, and every person has access to the freedom of safe mobility.
