Washington Bikes is supported by people like you who care about better bicycling, safer streets, and strong towns. Become a supporter and ensure that we continue to advocate, inform, and inspire to grow bicycling statewide. Donate more than $100 or $10/month and as your thank-you, you will receive a sketch of your bike by artist Andy Goulding (sent to you as a JPEG for your creative uses).
All donors will receive a reflective WA Bikes sticker, pocket guide to state bike laws, our print newsletter, a “Drive Aware” brochure of safety tips to share with a non-bicycling friend who drives, and a 10% discount on items purchased in our Pioneer Square Seattle store or online.
