Tempe is looking to honor the next person or organization that makes biking better in the city, whether they do that in a lowkey manner or with public applause.
A Tempe Bike Hero can be a Clark Kent or a Superman when it comes to promoting the bicycling way, but what matters is making life better for Tempe’s two-wheeled community, a city release explained.
The city is currently accepting nominations from the community for its 2024 Tempe Bike Hero Award through April 30. Nominated individuals must live or work in Tempe and nominated organizations must be located in Tempe.
