And we had a great time! More than 130 events filled our calendar, including arts, performance, literary interest, food, adventure, advocacy, competition, rides, tours, activism, multimedia events, films, education, fun, and more. But don't take our word for it. See the pictures in our Photo Gallery. And take heart: Even though BikeSummer is over, many of the event hosts are still doing great bicycle-oriented things. So check out our calendar to see what organizers are interesting to you, and then visit their Web sites to find out what they're up to. And make plans for BikeSummer 2004 . . . in Seattle!

Lots more on the history, culture, and future of BikeSummer can be explored here, too. (For navigation tips, see below.)

BikeSummer started in San Francisco in 1999 and travels to a different city each year. BikeSummer 2003 was produced entirely by volunteers from New York-area groups. Thanks to all who helped!
