The Bicycle Ride Across Nebraska (BRAN) is an annual road-cycling tour across the US state of Nebraska, held about the second week of June every year. The ride was sponsored by the Omaha Pedalers Bicycle Club and Northwest Rotary for many years and is now organized by a dedicated entity, BRAN Inc. The ride is organized and staffed by volunteers. Proceeds from the ride are used to fund scholarships for students from the host communities to attend college in Nebraska.

The ride is limited to 600 participants because, as one of the BRAN directors remarked, "600 people is about as many as can camp on a school football field".

There was no bike ride in 2020 nor 2021 due to the Covid pandemic.
