Bike Month 2025

Bike Month 2025
May is National Bike Month!   
Informational page, no registration is required.

The City of Milford is celebrating National Bike Month in May with Bike Milford 2025. Getting out on a bike is a great way to tour our beautiful city while having fun and getting exercise. Milford is home to over 17 miles of bikeable shoreline, the perfect scenic area for bicyclists. This is great for casual rides with the family, exercising, or for a quick commute. There are various events planned throughout the month for all ages!
