Could your public institution or community organization use a free bike rack?
The 2026 Bike Rack grant program is NOW accepting applications until March 15!
The Friends of Blue Ridge in partnership with RIDE Solutions works to expand access to bike parking across the region. This annual program provides locations that serve the public with custom bike racks manufactured locally by Lift Arc Studios.
These bike racks support sustainable transportation by making it easier for communities and organizations to accommodate cyclists.
The eligibility area are locations within the Roanoke Valley-Alleghany region including Alleghany, Botetourt, Craig, Franklin and Roanoke counties; the cities of Covington, Roanoke, and Salem; and the towns of Clifton Forge, Rocky Mount and Vinton.
