We are so impressed by the number of cyclists and miles they’re covering to raise awareness and funds for good! Did you all see some of them camping at the roping arena last night?

Looking forward to the Great American Rail-Trail sections being built from Carters through to Gardiner!

Bikers from two nonprofits, with two different awareness and fundraising missions, intersected in Livingston on Saturday morning, each en route on separate journeys of more than 1,000 miles apiece.

Did you just know Windrider Transit is a free service?! What a gift to this community. The public leadership to make this happen is unbelievable. We suggest taking it for a ride one day and look forward to it stopping at the weekends one day soon! Thanks City of Livingston, Montana and Park County!

Windrider Transit wants to thank the City of Livingston for your continued support of Fare Free Public Transportation!!

What will the future like if we rethink transportation and focus on public transportation rather than personal automobiles and trucks? Trains, bikes, buses, rollers and strollers will the future! Funding constraints like these are not new but we will need champions!

I know we agree! How about you?

A new housing development outside Phoenix is looking towards European cities for inspiration and shutting out the cars. So far residents love it

All of this!

Hi Downtown Bikers, there is now a bike corral in a no-parking zone at Main and Callendar that can accommodate more bikes while freeing up sidewalk space.
🚴‍♀️
For every bike, there's one less car taking up a parking space and contributing to traffic so drivers should be extra happy to see folks biking downtown. 😉

A few questions answered:
🚴‍♀️
? Why the Park High/Mardi Gras colors? Plain black would get too hot so the Public Works Department got creative!
🚴‍♀️
? Will this be up during the winter? No! They will be taken down in the Fall and put up again in the Spring when there is more bike traffic.
🚴‍♀️
? Is this the only one? No, there will be 3-4 in the future also in no parking zones, so not only do they not take up parking spots, every biker means no vehicle in a parking spot!
🚴‍♀️
? Can we ride bikes on the sidewalk? No, bikes should be ridden in lanes like vehicles, including using hand signals for turning. This increases visibility to drivers and is actually safer for all than biking on sidewalks. Please dismount when you arrive near your destination and walk your wheels to a bike corral or bike rack. It is against City ordinance to ride anything with wheels further than 2 feet apart on any sidewalk, but is especially dangerous on Downtown sidewalks where there is more pedestrian traffic. There have been increasing near collisions with pedestrians and bikers on Downtown sidewalks. If you must ride on the sidewalk, please yield to pedestrians!
🚴‍♀️
This low-cost bike corral solution is courtesy of the City of Livingston, Public Works Department, the folks who keep our town clean, functional and flowing (as in water and waste disposal.) Please thank a hardworking City worker next time you see them. Their work is largely taken for granted but everything would come to a screeching halt without them!

Livingston ordinance 9-20: "It shall be unlawful for any person to place, use, or run any bicycle, or vehicle of any description, the wheels of which are over two (2) feet apart in width, upon any sidewalk in the City."

Downtown Livingston bike corral! It occupies unused space and the more folks that park bicycles here, the more parking there is available for those who still choose to drive. Thanks and public works!

Incredible! We can’t wait to use it!! Thanks City of Livingston, Public Works Department and City of Livingston, Montana!

Our newest bike rack was installed downtown today to support a more bikeable community. A nice complement to warm summer evenings downtown strolling the art walk.

Calling yee pirates and pixies, dragons and hoot owls, for an evening bicycle ride. Strap on your wings and dragon taming attire, we'll slow roll together, and Wishberry Hollow we'll admire. Leaving all worries behind.

This is a community bicycle ride for all ages and abilities to seek out magical moments and to celebrate the love and labor of local artists and fairy enthusiasts alike. Dogs (and other creatures) welcome on a leash.

Dress up in your favorite fairy finery and join us on August 8th for PCEC's annual Fairy Ride, to explore Wishberry Hollow!

Conservation Leadership Interns from the Park High Green Initiative will be leading the family-friendly ride for all ages and abilities. It is close enough to go by foot or stroller too!

Meet at Rx Coffee at 6 p.m., get your face painted and decorate your bike with provided materials. At 6:45 p.m., we will ride to Wishberry Hollow on O-Street Connector to Myers River View Trail and experience the whimsical fairy 🧚🏼‍♀️ displays. At 7:30 p.m. the Sunset Fairy-tales begin, which we highly encourage you to attend!

Costumes are highly encouraged and make sure to bring lights for your bikes as it may become dark out. We hope to see you there!
