SVBC's Bike Month and Bike to Wherever Days

Tuesday, April 26, 2022 to Saturday, May 28, 2022

Join Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition for Bike Month and Bike to Wherever Days!

Whether you bike to work, school, shops, parks, libraries, or just wherever, biking is good for you and our environment. Bicycling is one of the biggest ways you can reduce Climate Change as well as improve your health!

COVID-19 caused many more people to bike around to exercise, have fun, and get wherever they need to go. Let’s keep the momentum rolling and celebrate biking during the month of May! We particularly encourage you and your friends to Pledge To Ride to get a BTWD bag, win prizes, and see how many people we can get biking!

We want as many people as possible to get in the habit of bicycling for transportation rather than driving a car. Did you know that it’s possible to move more stuff using your bike than most people can fit in a car? Check out Carrying Things by Bike. And did you know if you choose to bike rather than drive you can save 1 million dollars? See below for many fun things you can do during Bike Month and Bike to Wherever Days!
