CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress in support of a national 
bike month and in appreciation of cyclists and others 
for promoting bicycle safety and the benefits of cycling. 
Whereas there are over 57 million adult cyclists in the United 
States; 
Whereas it is estimated that 100 million United States citi-

Whereas 5 million United States citizens commute by bicycle 
to work; 
Whereas the bicycle industry generates more than $5 billion 
dollars a year and is an important part of the economy 
of the United States; 
Whereas recreational cycling is a safe, low-impact, aerobic ac-
tivity for all ages; 
Whereas when an individual cycles as a form of regular exer-

Whereas a national bike month would provide an opportunity 
to educate United States citizens about the importance of 
bicycle safety and the health benefits of cycling; 
Whereas most communities in the United States officially 
recognize May 20th as Bike to Work Day; and 
Whereas the month of May has officially been celebrated as 
National Bike Month by the League of American 
Bicyclists and the majority of the international cycling 
community since 1956: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that—
