McHenry County Bicycle Advocates has been formed to advocate on behalf of all McHenry County bicycle riders. Our goal is to help motivate the county, and the cities and townships within the county, to provide adequate accommodations both on the roads and in the form of bicycle paths. In this time of high fuel costs and rising environmental concerns this is a very timely matter.

What can you do? You can help us in a variety of ways, from simply keeping your eyes out for accommodation problems to attending meetings. Visit the Join Us Page
