• May BPAC Meeting Rescheduled:
  The May BPAC Meeting has been rescheduled from May 16, 2024 to May 23, 2024 from 6-8pm (the next Thursday) at the normal location, City Hall, Hearing Room 4 to encourage participation in Bike to Wherever Day.
• Bike to Wherever Day 2024:
  May 16th, 2024 is Bike to Wherever Day, a part of Bike Month (the month of May). Each year, we celebrate the entire month of May as Bike Month with a special day during the month designated as Bike to Work Day. Pre-pandemic, Bike to Work Day (BTWD) was a celebration of bicycles as a fun and healthy way to get to work, as well as an opportunity for those who don’t usually bike commute to try it out. It’s also a time to advocate for improved bicycle infrastructure and safety. During the pandemic and over the last couple of years, the event evolved into Bike to Wherever Days to encourage riders to get out and pedal to do errands, meet friends outdoors, and for some to get to work safely and easily. Now in 2024, we embrace both events and encourage the community to pedal to do errands, visit friends and family, commute to work, and ride recreationally. Pledge to ride, host an energizer station, nominate a bike champion of the year, and take a free bike class with Bike East Bay. For more information about Bike to Wherever Day, visit wobo.org.
