Connection is a human right.

We know that outdoor recreation isn’t just a “nice to have”—it is essential for a happy and healthy life. For many, particularly seniors and people with disabilities, the world can become smaller over time.

We exist to expand it.

Access to the outdoors and meaningful social connection are foundational to well-being. Let’s break down the barriers of isolation and replace them with the sensory thrill of the ride and the warmth of community. 

Meet the artist.

The Biking is for EveryBODY design, and our festival poster were created by Mandi Weirdmore. Mandi is a disabled Maine artist who sells her designs, stickers, and other merchandise on her website.

Using her platform, she raises awareness about rare disorders and disability rights. 

About Biking is for EveryBODY, Mandi says, “This piece represents the connection that comes with biking and the disability community. We may all have different needs, but together we are at peace.”
