It's all about giving back.
Bicycle advocacy means attending neighborhood meetings to make sure the proposed bike lane goes in. It means showing city planners how to complete streets for cars, transit, bikes, and pedestrians. It means supporting schools in their efforts to create Safe Routes to School. It means going to Capitol Hill to tell Congress that bikes matter.
At Dero, we believe that bikes make a difference. From your own health to reducing the impact on the whole planet, bikes are a powerful tool for change. And, they’re fun! Providing quality bike parking certainly makes it easier for more people to choose bicycling, but we know that it takes more than a good product to make an impact. That’s why we support bicycle advocacy in every way we can.
Join the leaders
We can’t do it alone, but we can do it together. That’s why Dero proudly supports these leaders and/ or their events.
Bikes Belong
Mission: To get more people on bikes more often.
Safe Routes to School National Partnership
Mission: To serve a diverse national community of organizations that advocates for and promotes the practice of safe bicycling and walking to and from schools throughout the United States.
League of American Bicyclists (LAB)

Lend a Hand
Support the Local Community. Sometimes you just have to get your hands dirty. And, it’s always good to support your local community. The reality of building a bicycle friendly community is that sometimes it just takes more people. That’s why we like to step out of the office and warehouse and help get things done and provide financial support to local organizations that need it.
