The resolution proclaims the month of May as Bike Month in the State of Arkansas, highlighting the accessibility and enjoyment of bicycling for all citizens, regardless of age or ability. It notes the extensive network of over 2,700 miles of biking trails and routes throughout the state, as well as the recognition of various Arkansas communities as Bicycle Friendly by the League of American Bicyclists. Additionally, it mentions the establishment of the U.S. National Mountain Bike Team in Bentonville in preparation for the 2028 Olympics and the designation of a significant bicycle route from Memphis to Little Rock.
The resolution also acknowledges the efforts of a third-grade class at Evening Star Elementary School in Bentonville, which has initiated legislation to make cycling the state sport, marking this proclamation as a first step in their endeavor. Upon adoption, a copy of the resolution will be provided to the class's teacher, Mr. Carter Coriell, to recognize their contributions to promoting cycling in Arkansas.
