Local cycling enthusiasts have scheduled a number of events to commemorate National Bike Month.
On Monday morning, Hart's Local Grocers was recognized for installing the first bike corral in the City of Rochester.
Richard DeSarra, co-founder of the Rochester Cycling Alliance, said the bike movement is picking up momentum here.
"We have about 70 miles worth of bike lanes and sharrow markings on the road. Within a few more years, we'll have over 100 miles. There is other infrastructure that's going in place, like bike lanes that are painted green, mainly at intersections, to increase cycle safety. There are a couple of cycle tracks, which are essentially two-way bike lanes that are separated from auto traffic."
DeSarra said both motorists and bicyclists could become more educated about road safely. He said the best way to educate drivers is to have more bicyclists on the road who are obeying traffic laws.
He believes a bike-friendly Rochester will be more economically vibrant.
"For instance, cities like Portland, Oregon; Boulder, Colorado and Madison, Wisconsin - these areas are attracting young cyclists because the jobs are there, but also because of the amenities these communities are providing. And one of them is the ability to not have to use a car."
