The Bike Buddy Program
Indianapolis and surrounding counties continue to create more bike trails making it even easier to get out and ride. But many of us haven’t ridden a bike since we were a kid. We have forgotten the joys of jumping on a bike and the freedom it provides. If you are hesitant to start riding, we encourage you to sign up for the Bike Buddy Program.
The Bike Buddy Program is a collaborative effort between Central Indiana Cycling and CIRTA/Commuter Connect. This free program allows cyclists of all backgrounds and levels to work one-on-one with an experienced cyclist. Your Bike Buddy will help you plan safe and efficient bike routes all over Central Indiana, share bicycling rules and regulations, and more! Learn more below about how to get matched with a Bike Buddy or, if you are an experienced cyclist, how you can become a Bike Buddy.
All you need to do is sign up!

Bike Buddies can also help you plan your route to work, where to park your bike and how to transport work items. We hope you’ll enjoy it so much, you’ll make biking part of your daily commute.

Become a Bike Buddy Mentor
Be the mentor you wish you had when you started riding. There’s a lot of joy in helping someone gain confidence in an area where they feel unsure, and having a hand problem-solving how to traverse the trickier parts of the city can make a big difference.
