Boone Bicycle Initiative

The Boone Bicycle Initiative is a community‐based organization dedicated to the increased use of bicycles for commuting in and around Boone, by addressing safety and awareness while distributing bikes at little or no cost to members of the community. In doing so we hope to create positive social, environmental, and economic change.

The Boone Bicycle Initiative (BBI) got its start when a small group of students from Appalachian State University wrote a grant proposal to the Environmental Protection Agency. These start‐up funds, combined with outstanding support from the Town, University, and Local Community have helped get the program where it is today.
