Local Motion

Thanks to Lake Effect Vermont! Support from local businesses helps us to make it safe, accessible, and fun for everyone to bike, walk, and roll in Vermont.

NEW in the Local Motion merch store: Chico bags! They are made from recycled material, pack down super small, and feature an active Vermont scene from local artist Christine Tyler Hill.

All merch proceeds support our mission to make it safe, accessible, and fun to bike, walk, and roll in Vermont. See what's available at localmotionvermont.square.site

If you're local, save on shipping: all merch can be purchased in person at our Trailside Center.
