Each year in September BWVA works with Drive Smart Virginia to sponsor the Virginia Cycling and Pedestrian Awareness Week. During Awareness Week we partner with organizations, companies, schools, colleges, and individuals across the state to spread a strong message that cycling and walking can be safe if we Share the Road.
In 2010 over 200 partners joined and held events, sent out news, ran media campaigns, and got out on bikes and their feet. We’re looking forward to 2011 being even bigger.

Cycling and Pedestrian Awareness Week is funded in part by a safety grant from the Department of Motor Vehicles. Additional funding comes from the Kevin Flock Memorial Fund. Kevin was killed while riding in Amelia County, Virginia in May 2009. Kevin’s family and friends have contributed to a memorial fund in his name to support our Awareness Week campaign and other share the road activities.
