Bike To Work Day Events
Below are some of the events coming up in May (which is National Bicycle Month). Check this page for more information, or sign up for the weekly e-mail bulletin to get more information about Bike to Work Day in Silicon Valley.
Bike to Work Day Bag-stuffing Extravaganza
SVBC will host a bag-stuffing party in preparation for Bike to Work Day. Live bands, food, beverages, and prizes will keep the night fun as we pack goodie bags for Bike to Work participants and rock out to the tunes of Corduroy Jim. Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase the highly sought-after BTWD t-shirts!
Check out the calendar page for more information about this event.
Bike Away from Work Bash
On Bike to Work Day, bring a buddy and book it to our Bike Away From Work Bash. Can't get enough of Bike to Work Day? Sad to see the end of such a fun day? Wish you could enjoy the evening with like-minded bicycling brethren? Then come join SVBC as we break out the brews and toast to the reduction of Silicon Valley’s carbon footprint!
