Beirut By Bike

Beirut By Bike is a local group that encourages residents of Beirut to choose the bicycle over the car and to experience the city on two wheels. Inspired by personal stories of navigating traffic, the community highlights both the thrills and the challenges of urban cycling, advocating for safer bike lanes and more public bike parking. Members organize rides such as the popular Beirut Night Ride and share events through social media, inviting newcomers and seasoned riders alike to explore the streets together. The group also raises awareness about the need for proper infrastructure, supporting initiatives like the Chain Effect bike‑rack projects that make cycling more convenient for shoppers and diners. By fostering a supportive network, Beirut By Bike aims to grow the minority of cyclists in the city, promote safety practices such as helmet use, and demonstrate that riding a bike can be a rewarding and practical way to move around Beirut.
