Our STORY
Bike Walk Macon was initially supported by the 8 80 Cities Emerging City Champions fellowship program, which is funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, in July 2015. We are Macon-Bibb County’s first grassroots bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organization working to enhance mobility to create a more vibrant, healthy, and equitable city. Through community leadership and inclusive engagement, Bike Walk Macon has become the city’s voice for all things biking and walking. We seek to make active transportation an option for all Maconites, no matter where they live or where they’re trying to go. We work to make our transportation network support active living and additional commuting options.
OUR WORK
COMMUNITY: Organize and promote fun, meaningful events and programs that can positively impact bicycling and walking in Macon.
ADVOCATE: Advocate for funding, policies, and infrastructure transformation that improves conditions for bicyclists and pedestrians.
EDUCATE: Provide free resources and education to Maconites so that they can safely and confidently access Macon’s streets and greenways.
Jane’s Walk is an annual festival of free, community-led walking conversations inspired by Jane Jacobs. On the first weekend of May every year, Jane’s Walk festivals take place in hundreds of cities around the world. Jane’s Walks encourage people to share stories about their neighborhoods, discover unseen aspects of their communities, and use walking as a way to connect with their neighbors.
Bike Walk Macon is facilitating free, citizen-led walking conversations to explore our city, share stories about our community and connect with our neighbors.
Walk stories are chronicles of moments, ideas, insights, and images from a Jane’s Walk, curated and submitted by local participants, walk leaders, and city organizers. Want yours to be the first one here? Share your experience with us below.
