TOMORROW Is Bike to Work Day!

Check your tires, get your clothes together, and plan your route - tomorrow is Bike to Work Day!

There will be twenty  Energizer Stations set up during the morning commute (6-9 am) along cycling routes throughout the county, offering riders snacks, swag, and encouragement. It's like having cheerleaders along your commute route! Check out our interactive map for the station nearest your home or workplace. Then, celebrate your achievement after work with an after-party at 2Tread Brewing in the Santa Rosa Plaza Mall.
 
Major funding and support for Bike to Work Month activities comes from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, Measure M, GoSonoma, Marin Bikes, and Santa Rosa Cycling Club. Station hosts and bag sponsors include the cities of Cotati, Healdsburg, Petaluma, Santa Rosa, and Windsor; BikePartners.net, Bay Area Air Quality Management District, Mudroom Backpacks, Olivers Market, Trek, Community Market,  Camelbak, Amy's Kitchen, Kaiser Permanente, Keysight Technologies, Sports Basement, SMART, Lagunitas, White Industries, YMCA, Quadriga.

But Wait! There's More!

It's not too late to join the  Bay Area Team Bike Challenge!  Do you enjoy a little friendly competition? Does having teammates spur you to action? Create or join a team to compete for the most miles ridden throughout the month of May. A handy smartphone app will automatically track your rides. (We already have fifteen Sonoma County teams participating!)

There's a lot that employers can do to support workers using alternative forms of transportation. Toward that end, we are initiating our first-ever Bike Friendly Employer Award! You can nominate your company here.

Planning and executing Bike to Work Day/Month truly takes a village. We will be celebrating all our sponsors, volunteers, and prize winners (Bike Commuter of the Year, Bike Friendly Employer of the Year, Team Challenge) with a party on June 8. Watch for details!
