Become a "Bike4eMi Ambassador":
One of our biggest needs in growing the ride and our movement is simply to let people know who we are and what we do. You can help by inviting your friends to our Facebook group, contacting local cycling clubs and service organizations to tell them about it, and hanging posters or leaving brochures at local colleges, churches, bike shops, coffee houses, etc.
- Our Volunteers
Apply to Join Support Staff:
In the right situation, we are open to having someone join the trip as volunteer support staff. Opportunities may include driving the SAG vehicle, serving as a bike mechanic, or following along on a motorcycle . The support person is responsible for their own vehicle expenses should they drive their own vehicle. Know that you would be loved and appreciated!
Organize an Event:
If you live along the way - or have close contact with someone along the way - consider planning an event while we the Bike4eMi is in town. Whether hosting us for dinner, inviting us to speak at your church or civic club, getting a bunch of riders together to gain sponsorships, bringing out the media, or just join us as we come through town. You can help us make the most of our time on the road this fall.
Please check our schedule first before planning an event.
Involve Your Bike Club:
If you're connected with a cycling club, you can really be of help to us. Let the other members know about the different ways they can be part of the ride. Come as a team [13] to join us for a day, a segment or even the whole thing. Simply helping us choose the best route through your area is a tremendously useful service.
Other Ways to Help:
Pray for us. Host us along the way. Send us food. Tell your kids, your church, and others in sphere of influence about what we're doing and why. Share with your co-workers or friends. Help us obtain corporate gifts (like gift cards for food), gifts-in-kind (like spare tires), or cash gifts to help us build and support our international work. Ask your friends to donate. Write posts about the ride on Face book, or your blog.
Thank you for prayerfully considering this.
As we develop other ideas and tools, we'll pass them along to you. You might even brainstorm a few yourselves. We look forward to hearing from you!
