Pedal Power
The Pedal Power Festival powers the 501c3 Bisbee Bikeways’ mission to create safer streets and boost the local economy—drawing visitors, supporting businesses,
and building a healthier, more connected region.
The Impact of Trails and Bikeways:
- Real Estate Values: Homes near trails see 5–15% higher property values (RTC, 2019).
- Economic Development: Trails generate an average of $1.8 million annually in local spending per mile (FHWA, 2012).
- Carbon Emissions: Every mile walked or biked instead of driven prevents 1 pound of CO₂ emissions (EPA, 2020).
- Public Health: Communities with trails see increased physical activity by up to 48%, lowering risks of heart disease and obesity (CDC, 2019)
