HOST A PEAC PROGRAM
We empower all individuals with disabilities through cycling and transportation education, but we need your help. We partner with schools and other organizations all around Michigan to host the following programs:
Every summer, we set out throughout Southeast Michigan to run our Summer Cycling Program. Sponsors fund a location for our program, and hosts provide space for program operations.

School Active Transportation Program
During the school year, we work with school districts to host the School Active Transportation Program. This is an opportunity for schools to include travel training as part of their course offerings.

EVENT PARTNERSHIPS
We run and partner for events held by local organizations and businesses. Below are some kinds of events that we partner for.
Advocacy
We partner with organizations to advocate for transportation access and safety. For many years, we’ve sponsored and been a part of Bicycle & Trail Advocacy Day in Lansing, put on by the League of Michigan Bicyclists. During the event, students speak with state legislators about how to make their communities safer for bicyclists of all kinds.
Cycling Demonstration Days
We partner with organizations to run Demonstration Days for individuals interested in trying out adaptive cycling equipment. In the past, we ran demonstration days with the Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living, Disability Network, MoGo, and the Ability Tour.
Instructional Guidance
Our staff can provide guidance to your organization, nonprofit, hospital, or school district on teaching bike safety. Our bike rodeos are events where children can learn and practice bike handling safety skills. We can also fit cycling equipment for individuals’ specific needs.
Fundraisers
If you are a business that wants to support PEAC’s programs and advocacy, fundraise with us! In the past, we’ve hosted 10 mile bike rides with local breweries like Cultivate and Arbor Brewing Company to fundraise for our Summer Cycling Program. We’ve also partnered with gyms and cycling studios like Dexter Wellness Center.
