Bike Around Bend is blog based in Bend, Oregon who's mission is to report on all members of the bicycling family (cyclocross, road riding, mountain biking and bicycle commuting) as well as bike culture for the local area.

A major emphasis of the Bike Around Bend is to help people (adults and children) discover all the benefits of choosing to bicycle commute, whether getting to school or work, or running errands.

Due to Bend's success with creating a safe place to bike the League of American Bicyclists, designated Bend with the SILVER level award. Many already know that Bend is a great place to cycle commute. However, many are not aware that Bend has capitalized on Oregon’s resources and programs, including the Bike Bill, ODOT Training, BTA Education Programs, and the Commuter Choice Program. The community has created 21 roundabouts, three new pathway bridges, a new U.S. Route 20 tunnel, 85 percent of arterials have bike lanes, and they have recently installed a new European-style raised bike lane.
