May is National Bike Month, a time when communities across the U.S. celebrate the joys, health benefits, and safety awareness of bicycling. The Bay Area is gearing up for a series of events that highlight the versatility and fun of riding, culminating in Bike to Wherever Day 2025 on Thursday, May 15.
What Is Bike to Wherever Day?
Bike to Wherever Day (BTWD) is the Bay Area’s inclusive take on the traditional Bike to Work Day, encouraging everyone to ride whether to work, school, errands, or just for fun. Started over 30 years ago, BTWD promotes bicycling as a safe, sustainable, and joyful mode of transportation. In 2025, the event takes place on Thursday, May 15, with participants across San Francisco, the East Bay, and Marin County joining in the celebration.
How Local Bike Coalitions Are Preparing
The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition is organizing group rides, hosting Energizer Stations, and offering resources to support both new and experienced riders. Their efforts aim to make bicycling more accessible, enjoyable, and safer for everyone in the city.
In the East Bay, Bike East Bay is setting up over 50 Energizer Stations, providing free snacks, coffee, and bike-related goodies to riders. These stations serve as community hubs, fostering connections among cyclists and promoting bike-friendly infrastructure and safety.
The Marin County Bicycle Coalition is encouraging residents to pledge to ride and visit Energizer Stations throughout the county. Participants who register can receive a free BTWD bag filled with cycling safety essentials, enhancing the riding experience and supporting bicycle safety awareness.
