Friends of Pathways has counted 1,000,000 trips on the pathway network in 2022! That’s one million bike rides, dog walks, evening runs, mid-day strolls, and trips across town with out using your car. We think that’s worth celebrating!

Join us Wednesday, September 28 from 4-6 p.m. in Russ Garaman Park. Food | Drinks | Music

Thanks a million for putting our pathways to good use!

Broc won the bike!

All summer long, anywhere you saw the @friendsofpathways tent you could sign up to win a @iamspecialized_mtb Stumpjumper EVO Comp alloy mountain bike generously donated to us by @hobacksports. It was free to enter with your email. You had to live or work locally in JH to qualify to win.

We had 607 entries and Broc, who works at @snakeriverbrew, won!

Congrats Broc! Cheers 🍻🚲

We try to always have a bike raffle going, so next time you see our tent set up, stop by and say hi, and join our email list - you might just win a bike!

Yesterday with @hobacksports we tuned about 120 bikes parked in front of Jackson Hole Middle School. We adjusted brakes, lubed chains, inflated tires, and put rechargeable lights and bike bells on all bikes that were in need.

Huge thanks to Chris Kirkpatrick from Hoback Sports! Nearly every tire needed air, nearly every bike needed a brake adjustment, and nearly every bike needed its chain lubed. It took all day to check out each bike - some which need further work at a bike shop! Parents - check your kids bikes from time to time 😂!

With such a well connected pathway network, and the advent of ebikes, it’s great to see so many kids arrive to school independently. About 120-175 kids bike to the middle school on any given day. Friends of pathways is working to support that and make sure these kids get to school safely and follow proper pathway etiquette. Further pathway work is still needed to make sure every neighborhood is connected to the pathway network and that every kid has a safe route to school.

Parents and their children use the Willow Street bike lanes on their way to the first day of school at Jackson Elementary on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2022.

The Willow Street bike lanes make for a safe, comfortable route through town for all cyclists, but they are particularly inviting for families who live in town. The Willow Street bike route gives kids an option to safely cycle to school, leaving the car at home.

Like safe routes to school, and other bike infrastructure? Support @friendsofpathways during #oldbills2022 @cfjacksonhole

We love living in a community that values time spent outside and where walking and biking are a safe, comfortable, and easy choice for everyone. Friends of Pathways helps the community by maintaining 130 miles of your backyard trails in Cache Creek, Game Creek, the greater Snow King area, Munger Mountain, and on Teton Pass.

We are working to get every neighborhood connected to a pathway or trail so you can seamlessly leave your house and make your way into the outdoors on bike, or on foot - no matter where you live in Teton County.

Do you enjoy lunch laps, after work rides, or simply going for a walk to clear your mind? Support Friends of Pathways during Old Bill’s Fun Run giving season. Your gift keeps us running! #oldbills2022 @cfjacksonhole

We are loving the new Willow Street bike lanes and how they allow everyone to comfortably move through town - pedestrians, bikes, cars, trucks, buses, and yes - even horse and carriages! 🤠

While the bike lanes provide comfort for everyone, they are especially helpful for novice cyclists, children, and families to move around without the use of a car.

Friends of Pathways advocated for the Willow Street bike lanes project and appreciates the support it received from local residents and @townofjacksonwy elected officials.

Now that the bike lanes are installed, we’ve been tracking their use and are pleased that about 500 bike trips a day are taken up and down Willow Street. That’s 500 trips not taken in a car per day, making for a healthier community.

Like getting around on your bike? Support FOP during Old Bills Fun Run! @cfjacksonhole #oldbills2022
