Our Mission

Our mission is to improve the quality of our life through the support of programs and events that promote the accessibility of streets and trails for cyclists and pedestrians in Coral Gables and adjacent communities.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is community-based education of cycling and walking as safe and healthy forms of transportation and recreation, and specifically to:

  • Increase the community understanding and awareness of safe driving and necessary walking and cycling infrastructure through a coalition of public, private and community groups;

  • Coordinate resources, facilitate and sustain the implementation of a comprehensive program for this purpose through work with government, businesses, residents and visitors.

  • Establish a funding mechanism supported by BWCG which can coordinate the educational, environmental and recreational programs.

 

BWCG is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2011, non-advocacy organization dedicated to improving the quality of our life through the support of programs and events that promote the accessibility of streets and trails for cyclists and pedestrians in Coral Gables and adjacent communities.

Events

Events promote a culture change that puts biking and walking into people’s daily lives.
