Dust off your bicycle, pump up those tires, and start pedaling to save at local businesses.

May is Bike Month, promoted by the League of American Bicyclists and celebrated in communities from coast to coast. Established in 1956, National Bike Month is a chance to celebrate the joys and benefits of bicycling — and encourage more people to get pedaling!

In celebration of Bike Month, we want to highlight the Bicycle Benefits program. MFC has been participating in the Bicycle Benefits program since 2014, which offers bicycle riders discounts for riding their bike to businesses throughout the U.S. Businesses that participate in the program reward participating riders with a discount and sell the Bicycle Benefits helmet stickers for $5 each. To join the program, riders must purchase a $5 helmet sticker at any of the cooperating locations. To earn the discounts and rewards offered by local businesses, cyclists must ride a bike to the business and show the Bicycle Benefits helmet sticker at the time of the transaction.

Previously, we offered riders engaged in the program a $1 off a $10 purchase when they rode their bikes to the Co-op. Moving forward, we’re increasing the discount to $2 off your purchase, with no minimum purchase required. Riders can take advantage of the discount once per day, and just need to show their helmet sticker to the cashier at checkout.

In addition to improved Bicycle Benefits this May, we also want to entice new riders to participate in the program! Join the Bicycle Benefits program at MFC this month by purchasing a helmet sticker for $5 and we’ll give you a coupon for $5 off your next purchase. Offer good through May 31, 2025, or while supplies last.
