Truckee Meadows Bicycle Alliance

Supporting a safe and inclusive cycling community in Washoe County.

Take the Alternative Transportation Safety Survey

The Truckee Meadows Bicycle Alliance is partnering with local leaders to improve the safety of alternative transportation in Washoe County and solve traffic, parking and health challenges while contributing to the economy.

Who We Are

The Truckee Meadows Bicycle Alliance is a collaboration between local governments, non-profits, businesses, and individuals. We promote bicycling as an alternative form of transportation which reduces air pollution, reduces traffic congestion, promotes transportation independence, and promotes healthy, active lifestyles.

Events & Activities

From frequent events like monthly dinner rides and Draft Meetups to annual events like Bike Month and the Washoe County Tweed Ride, TMBA aims to serve up a wide range of non-competitive opportunities for cyclists of all types and abilities to connect and celebrate cycling.

Infrastructure, Policy, & Advocacy

If you build it, they will ride. TMBA believes that sensible policy related to cycling and a connected, protected, and equitable system of bike infrastructure will provide benefits for the county that extend well beyond just making cyclists happy.

Alliance Building

As our name implies, we recognize that one of cycling community’s greatest strengths lies in the fact that there is a broad range of individuals and organizations in our area that support cycling in one way or another. Our hope is that we can find ways to support a culture of collaboration among these various groups so that we all may be more successful.
