Our annual Gear Up! Fundraiser supports Bicycle Colorado's vision of a safe and accessible Colorado for everyone who rides a bike. We've been advocating for people on bikes for over 30 years, and it's paying off. Right now, we are seeing huge shifts in state policy and laws that make it easier, safer, and more convenient to bike for transportation and recreation. We’re ready to go further, but we need your help!

On June 4, our in-person Gear Up! event—the best bike party in town—will celebrate all of the benefits that bicycling brings to Colorado, and support Bicycle Colorado's continued efforts to make it easier for everyone in the state to access those benefits. The party will include a live auction full of items bicyclists will be sure to love, and guests will be treated to drinks, heavy passed and stationed hors d'oeuvres, and a sit-down dessert.

We're also launching our Gear Up! online auction a week ahead of the party, with even more items available for anyone to bid on. You don't have to register for the in-person party to bid online—see the ticketing page for the online auction-only ticket option. We encourage online auction participants to make an additional donation to support our continued bike advocacy.
