Bike Month

May Is National Bike Month

During National Bike Month, people from coast to coast celebrate the benefits of biking. At SANDAG, we celebrate Bike Month to encourage active transportation for everyone from bike enthusiasts to people who are new to biking. Riding a bike is a fun, sustainable, and healthy way to get around. It also alleviates traffic and reduces air pollution.

Check out our interactive bike map and enjoy the more than 1,800 miles of bikeways in the San Diego region during National Bike Month and beyond!
