The BBN is this committee’s flagship project at the moment. The vision is to create a connected, protected, and equitable network of bike routes within the McCarran Loop. Click here to learn more…

Oddie/ Wells

Our Partner, RTC, is developing a strategy for upgrading the Oddie/ Wells corridor from about I-80 to Pyramid Way. We are working collaboratively with them to ensure that the design includes safe cycling facilities.

Center Street Cycle Track

We successfully worked with RTC, the City of Reno, and local businesses to initiate the approval, design, and construction of a two-way, protected cycle track on Center Street from the University to Cheney St. in MidTown. Construction is tentatively scheduled for 2021.

Bike Racks

Beyond bike routes, bike racks are a critical piece of infrastructure to support the use of bicycles for transportation. We advocate for appropriate design, placement, and density of bike racks to adequately support our growing cycling community.
