New in 2022: Route 'Expect a Bike' Safety Signs

On our Bike MS route this year you will see these prominent safety signs. They are there to raise driver awareness of cyclists on the road and increase the level of safety along the route. We are very happy to have these CronArtUSA’s signs for your safety this year.

More about the ‘Expect A Bike’ campaign

CronArtUSA’s

 

Expect A Bike (EAB) is a powerful bike safety campaign rooted in Ryan Cronin’s iconic artwork. For Bike MS: Breakaway to the Palm Beaches the signs are supported by a partnership with Area 15 

Driven by the belief that art is fundamental to the human experience and carries the power to effect positive change on a global scale, Expect-A Bike is one of CronArtUSA’s lead public art projects. The EAB lawn signs, emblazoned with Cronin’s original image, harnesses the power of art to spark dialogue between cyclists, motorists, and pedestrians. It seeks to promote safety on the roadways by integrating visual art with purposeful messaging into public spaces and daily life. It’s a true example of art in action.

What’s in the Rider Packet?

Why the $350 Fundraising Minimum?

The National MS Society makes a concerted effort to utilize each dollar raised to help people living with multiple sclerosis. To continue making an impact on the lives of those living with MS through our fundraising efforts, the National MS Society requires all registered participants to have met the $350 minimum fundraising requirement prior to picking up their packet.

Who Can Pick Up a Packet?

In order to pick up your packet, you must meet the $350 fundraising minimum and have a completed waiver on file. If you registered online, you've already completed a waiver during the registration process. Please note: Riders under 18 will need a waiver signed by a parent or guardian.

Another team member, team captain or family member may pick up your packet for you, as long as you've reached your fundraising minimum and have already turned in a signed waiver.
