Bicycle Education and Advocacy
All proceeds from MVBC events go towards funding bicycle education programs in the Corvallis and Albany school districts. Our bicycle helmet program provides free helmets for kids at many local events. MVBC also works with our city, county, and state agencies to help assure safe riding conditions on all of our roads and bike paths.
See our current advocacy efforts as well as current and upcoming road projects.

Meetings
MVBC has monthly meetings each month from January - May. We generally take the summer off because we're too busy riding and touring. Our meetings are open to the public. We have interesting guests at each meeting presenting on a wide variety of topics of interest to club members.
Monthly meetings used to be held in person but since the pandemic we have been holding virtual meetings. Meetings are announced on our MVBC-Announce mailing list. We have recordings of recent online meetings available for you to view.
The MVBC Board also meets monthly and our meeting minutes are available so you can see what we're working on.
