Join the Bike Plan Focus Group

Apply to join Bike Cary's citizen focus group. Bike Cary staff want to learn about you and why you'd like to be on the citizen focus group! We're looking to build an engaged citizen group with varied backgrounds, interests and bike skill levels.

Why? Cary is updating our Bike Plan to create a vision for a comprehensive bike network, identifying priority corridors and filling in gaps. The Plan will focus on Cary streets and implementing on-road facilities to supplement our greenway system. A citizen focus group is an important component to ensure the final vision aligns with community values and goals.

What will this group do? Focus group members will be asked to provide input informing the Bike Plan development and serve as a citizen liaison. The time commitment for this role will include a minimum of 7 meetings (each approximately 1 hour) as well as offline document review, potential bike rides and advocacy. The engagement process is expected to extend from February to December 2023.

Are there any requirements to apply? Yes, you must be a Cary resident. Anyone with an interest in making Cary a safer, friendlier place to bike is encouraged to apply by 5 p.m. on February 17. 2023.

What happens if I'm not selected but want to help with the Bike Plan? Cary will host numerous public engagement activities in-person and on-line throughout the year to gather ideas and get your feedback.

What type of bike rider are you?

Take a look at the descriptions below and let us know which type you identify with most.

Strong and Fearless: Riding is a strong part of my identity, and I am undeterred by traffic speed, volume, or other roadway conditions.

Enthused and Confident: I am comfortable sharing the road with motor vehicles, but I prefer to use bike lanes and bike friendly streets.

Interested but Concerned: I like riding a bike, but I don't enjoy riding on the road. I would like to feel safer when I do ride, with less traffic and slower speeds. I will ride primarily on greenways and street-side trails.

Infrequent rider I don't ride regularly. If I do ride, it is only on greenways or in my neighborhood.
