It’s no secret that the pandemic inspired a cycling boom. According to the Outdoor Industry Association’s 2020 participation report, last year cycling was one of the top three activities, behind walking and running. And 65% of new cyclists will continue with their newfound passion after restrictions lift.
With thousands of new cyclists on the road in Nevada, this month, Southern Nevada Bicycle Coalition launched Ride Safe: Know Before You Go. Targeting new and existing cyclists, the campaign hopes to help achieve Nevada’s goal of zero fatalities. For more information visit, www.snvbc.org.

Yesterday, news broke of President Joe Biden’s plans to sign a proclamation designating the territory of Avi Kwa Ame in Southern Nevada as a new national monument, answering the call from Tribal leaders, conservationists, outdoor recreationalists, and local monument supporters to protect the landscape.
In response, we issued the following statement in support of this news. “We’re looking forward to President Biden designating Avi Kwa Ame National Monument in the state of Nevada. As a coalition of entrepreneurs, business owners and leaders of the outdoor recreation industry in Nevada, we have been proud to support the grassroots campaign to designate Avi Kwa Ame as a National Monument. Over 100 Nevada businesses signed our letter supporting the designation, and we highly anticipate seeing this National Monument go from mere proposal to reality."
