PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • May 21, 2025
With the weather in Maine getting warmer and the sun starting to shine more often, May is the perfect month to start getting outside. May also happens to be National Bike Month, established in 1956 by the League of American Bicyclists. This year, Biddeford and Saco each declared May to be celebrated as National Bike Month in the twin cities, encouraging residents to use the month as an opportunity to get on their bicycles. Bike month is a “powerful opportunity” to highlight the role of walking and bicycling in building vibrant, healthy and connected communities, Bicycle Coalition of Maine Executive Director Andrew Zarro said.
