Bike to Work (& Wherever) Days

May is Bike Month and Bike to Work Day is around the corner on Thursday, May 18!

Bike to Wherever Days continues the fun through May 20 with more events and Energizer Stations for riders in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties.

Bicycling is a great alternative to driving a car, and it is a fun and healthy way to explore your community. There is a wide variety of activities for everyone during Bike Month. So, come out and join us with friends and families to celebrate bicycling. Pledge to Ride during Bike to Work & Wherever Days and register to receive a Bike to Work Day tote bag full of incentives and goodies. We hope to greet you at an energizer station!
