Celebrating 50 Years of Riding Aloha
In 2025, Hawai’i Bicycling League will proudly celebrate its 50th anniversary! Over five decades, we’ve grown from a small group of passionate advocates to a vibrant, statewide community dedicated to transforming Hawai’i’s streets, paths, and trails. This milestone is more than a celebration; it’s a call to action to carry forward our mission with renewed energy
Your Support Matters Now More Than Ever
As we kick off our 50th-anniversary campaign, we invite you to help us honor the past and shape the future. Your tax-deductible donation today will allow us to advocate for safe streets for all, educate keiki to kūpuna, and organize the best days to ride aloha. With your help, we can ensure Hawai’i remains a place where everyone feels safe and welcome on our roads, paths, and trails
Together, Let’s Pedal Toward a Better Future
Please consider making a contribution to Hawai’i Bicycling League before the end of the year. Every gift brings us closer to a vision of Hawai’i where our keiki, kūpuna, and visitors alike can safely embrace the joy of bicycling.
Thank you for being a spoke in the wheel of change. Here’s to fifty years of riding aloha—and many more to come.
