GObike is a nonprofit organization established in 2010. Since then, we’ve setup headquarters in 98 Colvin, then the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, and now at 313 Broadway which also houses our second community workshop.

While we love to bike, GObike Buffalo’s role goes much deeper and our impact has been significant.

VISION

We promote active mobility culture within connected, and sustainable communities. Our collective efforts are having a positive impact on community health, clean air, safer streets, and a more resilient local economy.

MISSION

GObike promotes active mobility options, the proliferation of bikes into the hands of every western new yorker who wants or needs one, the construction and maintenance of trails and greenways, and the design and construction complete streets in Western New York. We do this through welcoming everyone into two community bike workshops, running traffic safety and bike maintenance education programs in schools and community organizations, planning and designing safer trails, greenways, roads, and intersections, and advocating for improved traffic safety legislation.

Let us SHOW you what we're all about!

 

READ GOBIKE'S 2025-27 STRATEGIC PLAN

Looking back at the last fifteen years, GObike has advanced from a small organization focused solely on making Buffalo a bicycle-friendly city, to expanding our footprint in communities across Western New York to ensure our roadways are safe and accessible for everyone, everywhere and every way. Here, our most recent strategic plan provides a foundation for the work we do, how we do it, and what
success looks like.

Strategic Plan

Our Areas of Work

Advocacy

We advocate for complete streets, a national effort to ensure consideration for commuters of all kinds are included in new road construction, making it easier to cross the street, bike to work, and enjoy the streetscape. View our Better Streets, Better Buffalo campaign.

Commuter Planning

Through our GO Buffalo Niagara program, we help residents and employees choose travel options that are better for their bank accounts, health, and the environment. We work with employees, employers, and developers to develop a transportation plan that works for them.

Infrastructure Planning

We are creating a healthier, more resilient Western New York region through active infrastructure planning projects and policy development. Our recent projects include conducting a feasibility study for the Southern Tier Trail and developing a bicycle master plan for the City of Niagara Falls.

Bike Mechanic Education

Through our community workshop, youth recycle-a-bicycle program, and pop-up mobile repair, we encourage bicyclists of all ages and interest levels to repair and maintain their own bicycles. Our shops offer free and low-cost bikes, parts, and free access to tools with guidance from our mechanics.

Traffic Safety Education

By car, bike, in a wheelchair, or on foot, we share the road. We teach all users how to share space in the road and in intersections, helping everyone get where they need to go–safely, comfortably, and efficiently, and with dignity.

Pop-Up Complete Streets

We support complete streets development in communities across Western New York by installing temporary installations of crosswalks, bike lanes, curb bump-outs, and other elements to improve the safety of our streets.

Services

We are leaders in connecting and empowering communities through active mobility. As champions of active mobility options, trails and greenways, and complete streets, we look forward to supporting your initiatives with robust community engagement programming, bike rack design and installation, and more.
