By Lightning Reports, Published: May 11, 2026

The city of Hendersonville is celebrating Bike Month and collaborating with community partners during Strive Not to Drive Week from Wednesday through May 22. 

The Hendersonville City Council will commemorate National Bike Month during its regular meeting at 5:45 p.m. at the City Operations Center, 305 Williams St.
The city also will be kicking off planning efforts for a new bicycle plan called Bike Hendo this week. The first Pedal Committee meeting will take place on Friday, May 15, as community stakeholders help guide the development of the plan. 
Strides are being made on bicycle-friendly infrastructure like the 1.8-mile Clear Creek Greenway, slated for completion in the spring of 2027, as well as plan development for paving and connectivity projects funded by the recently approved $10 million transportation GO Bond. 
The bike-ped partnership includes the French Broad River Metropolitan Planning Organization, BikeWalkHVL, Blue Ridge Bicycle Club, Apple Country Public Transit, Downtown Hendersonville, Henderson County and more.
