Group Ride to Happy Hour

Join us on a group bike ride in the afternoon on Bike to Wherever Day! We’ll meet in front of the Ferry Building at 4:45pm for a no-drop, social bike ride. The route is about 4miles long, and should take us an hour. Afterwards, we’re heading to Rock Bar to celebrate!

Make sure to RSVP so we know you’re coming.

Bike Rally at City Hall

Join us for a lunchtime rally on the steps of City Hall (located on the Polk Street side)on May 15. This year, we’re highlighting the passage of the Biking and Rolling Plan. Plus, we’ll hear from city leaders about the work they’re doing to make our streets better for people who bike. Rally starts promptly at 12:30pm, but come earlier for food trucks and bike activities leading up to the start of the event!

2025 Bike Champions

Our 2025 Bike Champion is Tony Guan! Read all about his story here.

This year, we’re expanding this award to recognize all the other types of bike champions in our communities. Later this month, we’ll announce a District Supervisor, Volunteer, and Small Business Bike Champion of the Year. Nominate your favorite bike-friendly small business now until May 10th!
