About Us

Cycle Brookfield is an informal group of citizens of Brookfield, Illinois and surrounding suburbs who love cycling and want to make a difference in our communities.
Cycle Brookfield wants to make it safer, easier, and more fun to bike in and around Brookfield. We do that through education, advocacy, and community building.
We support:

• more and safer bike lanes and bike routes in Brookfield
• more and better cycling connections to neighboring suburbs and Chicago
• more and more secure bike parking
• fun cycling events for riders of all ages and skill levels
• an active and inclusive community of cyclists

We do these things because we believe a more bikeable Brookfield is a safer, healthier, friendlier, more economically vibrant Brookfield.
