The Illinois Valley Wheelm’n support these advocacy groups:
Bike Peoria
Bike Peoria is a group of citizens and cycling enthusiasts who are leading the charge by advocating, encouraging, and promoting a more bike-friendly city and region. Volunteers are the heart of this movement and we rely strongly on the efforts of the community to make our city safer and easier to ride. Bike Peoria is a community made up of commuters, racers, enthusiasts and the occasional recreational rider. It is our pleasure to help make Peoria a more enjoyable place to ride.
Friends of the Rock Island Trail
The Friends of the Rock Trail, Inc. is a group of concerned citizens and local organizations that are aware of the social, economic, and wellness benefits that greenway corridors provide to the Central Illinois region. Our mission is to promote and support the organized development of trail systems and amenities throughout the area. This will be done by working with the various park districts and other governmental bodies involved with trail and greenway development.
We will encourage community participation by providing a central conduit for financial donations and communication by individuals as well as non-profit and corporate organizations. The organization is recognized as a 501 (c) 3 corporation by the IRS and all donations are tax deductible.
League of American Bicyclists
For generations past and to come, THE LEAGUE represents bicyclists in the movement to create
 safer roads, stronger communities, and a bicycle-friendly America. Through information, advocacy and promotion, we work to celebrate and preserve the freedom cycling brings to our members everywhere.
Ride Illinois (formerly known as League of Illinois Bicyclists)
Ride Illinois is a nonprofit organization working statewide for better bicycling conditions. We work for bike friendly roads, favorable legislation, and education on sharing our roads safely, so you can get out there and Ride Illinois.
