Cyclist’s 4 Community’s Crank it Forward event May 17th!

Cyclist’s 4 Community’s third annual Crank It Forward! fundraising gala takes place the evening of Friday May 17th at the Boulder Jewish Community Center. Formed after the 2013 floods, C4C gave $200,000 to local communities affected by the flooding. Continuing out of that positive experience of partnering with communities, C4C has grown into other collaborative roles in the community.

C4C partnered with Boulder County and donated $17,000 for a variable message board that is positioned around Boulder County and dedicated to displaying messages regarding cycling.

Additionally, C4C donated $20,000 to Boulder County allowing it to qualify for $80,000 in federal matching grant monies. The result, in part, funds 45 bicycle friendly driver classes reaching 900 students, mostly commercial drivers, in Boulder County in 2019.

In shared formal comment with its peer nonprofit, Community Cycles, C4C successfully recommended the inclusion of Vision Zero comprehensive safety and engineering systems into Boulder County’s Transportation Master Plan update. If formally adopted sometime in June, Vision Zero would bring objective standards to County transportation infrastructure, planning, and policy.

Currently, one of C4C’s main projects is to create sample video bicycle friendly driver and auto friendly cyclist content that can be widely scaled and adapted for online use. Such content will reach thousands of contacts and cover multiple subjects regarding the law and community standards for sharing the roads.
