April’s Gonna Be Pure Joy, Baby

April starts on Wednesday, which means one thing in cycling circles: it’s time for #30DaysOfBiking.

The premise is simple and it’s a challenge that makes me smile — ride your bike every day in April, any distance, any destination, and share your adventures online. #30daysofbiking There’s no minimum. Around the block counts. So does a 100km ride. If you miss a day, just pick up where you left off — this is supposed to be joyful, not punishing. My plan is to ride on my trainer for 20 min on the days when I don’t commute by bike. 30daysofbiking

We’ve written about this challenge before — our post from 2022 is below — and the spirit of it holds up perfectly. If you’re just getting back on the bike after winter, this is a lovely low-pressure way to make it a habit. If you’ve been riding all along, it’s a good excuse to bring friends along.

And as they say on the 30daysofbiking website, “April 1–30, 2026 — April’s gonna be pure joy, baby.”

This year’s challenge runs April 1–30, 2026. Make your pledge at 30daysofbiking.com and tag your rides #30daysofbiking.
