Free Stuff!

This year's BTWD messenger bag is sure to be a collectors item for two reasons: it is the 25th anniversary, AND the date is wrong! (The event was re-scheduled due to COVID-19.) They will be distributed in a variety of locations throughout the county all this week. Two sites - Sebastopol and Cotati - will be "live" on Thursday September 24 while the others are being handed out at bike shops and other partner businesses. Details here. Get yours while supplies last!

There's still time to enter our BTWD Bike Scavenger Hunt (Deadline is Wednesday September 30). View the full list of BTWD activities here (including Virtual Happy Hour!)

Drink Wine, Support the Bike Coalition!

For a limited time, Russian River Vineyards will donate 100% of the proceeds from online sales of their 2016 Stony Point Pinot Noir to us! Ride out there (it's off the West County Trail) and pick up your purchase and indulge in some tasting. (Snap some photos and share them with us while you're at it!)

You must place your order from this link for the money to go to SCBC - orders from other parts of their website will NOT count!
