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.

At SANDAG, we are dedicated to providing options for how people travel around the San Diego region, including biking, walking, riding transit, and sharing the ride. With more than 1,800 miles of bikeways in the region, biking is a vital factor in our transportation network. It alleviates traffic, reduces air pollution, and improves individual health.

 

SANDAG Bike Anywhere Day

Bike Anywhere Day (formerly Bike to Work Day) is a free, annual event that SANDAG has hosted in the San Diego region for more than 30 years. It is an opportunity for everyone to ride to work, school, the beach, or . . . anywhere.

Thank you to the thousands of Bike Anywhere Day 2025 participants who pedaled across the San Diego region to more than 100 pit stops on Thursday, May 15!

From Oceanside to Tijuana, pit stops provided a free commemorative t-shirt, snacks, refreshments, and fun to participating commuters, hybrid workers, students, families, and more.

Stay tuned for Bike Anywhere Day 2026!
