The Morris Area Freewheelers Foundation: Dedicated to safe cycling for fitness, fun, touring and transportation.
The Morris Area Freewheelers Foundation envisions a time when safe bicycling is a fully integrated part of our country’s transportation, recreation and fitness efforts.
In order to accomplish our goals, the Foundation organizes fund-raising and educational events and activities to:
benefit local first responders and non-profit organizations that promote and educate communities about the benefits of bikes
advance awareness about the role of cycling in community fitness and recreation
educate drivers and cyclists about bicycle safety
assist in drawing attention to the bicycling and learning opportunities available in our area’s national, state and county parks
We work to educate cyclists and motorists alike about their responsibilities through event rides, cooperative projects with local police departments and emergency squads, and other educational programs. We are a non-profit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.
CONNECTING COMMUNITIES THROUGH GRANTS
The Foundation has supported work in three Morris and Somerset county communities that will make it easier and more enticing to bicycle instead of driving. The communities — Morris Township, Mendham Borough and Bernards Township—encourage cycling through their planning and work of local advocates. The Foundation’s support provided funds for bike racks in key locations such as parks, pools and downtown streets so that residents who elect to cycle know they’ll have a place to park.
SHARE THE ROAD…SHARE THE RESPONSIBILITY
The Foundation partnered with Morris County Parks Commission to place Share the Road/Share the Responsibility signs in 21 locations throughout the park system. Palisades Interstate Park Commission also accepted signs for display at park entrances and exits.
VOLUNTEER
Every year, we need close to 200 volunteers to make our signature event, the Revolutionary Ramble, the great event it has become.
