May is National Walking Month, National Bike Month, and National Mobility Awareness Month – so we are celebrating all things Mobility for the Month of May! Whether you’re new to biking, walking, rolling, or riding the bus—or just excited to advocate for safer, more accessible streets—this Bingo board is your ticket to engaging with local transportation in a fun, hands-on way. Check out the board, take a selfie or a screenshot of each action, and send your digital board to events@bikewalkgreenville.org. We’ll also have some physical copies at our May events. You can learn more about each action item below. Let’s get moving!
🚌 Locate Your Nearest Greenlink Bus Stop
Find your closest Greenlink bus stop using the Greenlink Transit Map. Knowing where the bus runs is a simple step toward using public transportation— even if just once this month!
🚲 Download the B-Cycle App
Greenville B-Cycle offers electric-assist bike share stations across downtown and the Swamp Rabbit Trail. Download the BCycle App in the Apple App Store or Google Play to find and unlock a bike near you.
🛣️ Look Up Who Owns Your Street in SC
Ownership affects who’s responsible for maintenance, sidewalks, and safety improvements. Use the SCDOT Road Ownership Map to check whether your street is state- or city-owned, and understand where to direct your advocacy.
♿ Visit the Roger C. Peace Adaptive Cycling Center
Located in Unity Park, this center offers adaptive bikes for individuals with physical challenges. It’s a great place to learn more about inclusive mobility options. Thank you to Prisma Health for being a supporter of our work! Learn more here.

🏫 Bike, Walk or Roll to School
