Bike Hendo

The City of Hendersonville is launching Bike Hendo, a new bicycle plan that will help shape the future of biking and rolling in Hendersonville.  

Bike Hendo steers the course of strategies and projects to make Hendersonville safer, more connected, and more bike-friendly for people who bike or roll for transportation, recreation, and everyday trips. The plan will build on successes like the Ecusta Trail and help guide future investments in the city’s bicycle network. 

Be Part of the Movement

Community members are invited to share their input at a drop-in public meeting or through an online survey. 

Be part of the movement: 

What: Bike Hendo Community Meeting 

When: Thursday, June 25, 2026, drop in anytime from 4:00 to 7:00 PM 

Where: Trailside Brewing, 873 Lennox Park Drive 

Who: Anyone who lives, works, visits, bikes, or rolls in Hendersonville 

Attendees will be able to share where they currently bike, where they want to bike, and what makes biking difficult. Community feedback will help identify existing conditions, challenges, opportunities, and priorities for the bicycle plan.

For those who cannot attend in person, an online survey will launch following the community meeting

Plan Background

The Bike Hendo steering committee, affectionately known as the ‘Pedal Committee,’ held a kick-off meeting in May. This group of volunteers is helping guide the planning process alongside City staff and planning consultants with McAdams.  

The final Bike Hendo plan is expected to be completed in the summer or fall of 2027 with community input opportunities spread throughout the process. Once adopted, the City and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) can use the plan to guide future projects, policy decisions, programs, events, and funding opportunities.  

Bike Hendo is made possible through a grant from the NCDOT Integrated Mobility Division and support from the City of Hendersonville. 

This bicycle network plan is an update to the City's previous bike plan adopted in 2017.
