Bikeatoga Membership

Here at Bikeatoga, we are an all-inclusive, non-profit organization that aims to construct a community of environmentally conscious people who enjoy riding bikes as a favorable pastime or primary mode of transportation. In an effort to build upon that community, we offer a membership program that allows our community a chance to become more involved in everything we do. We welcome all cyclists from all walks of life.
