3

To promote the use of bicycles and alternative forms of transportation in and around the University of Houston-Downtown and the Houston metropolitan area.
4

To promote fun and responsible bicycling in a way that improves and encourages fitness, wellness, economic vitality, sustainable livability, social interaction, and community.
5

To advocate for bicycle facilities in the area, including bike parking (bike racks, shelters and lockers), signage, protected bike lanes, and trails.
6

To assist riders in improving their riding skills.
7
