May is Bike Month
Celebrate Cycling in El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba!
Register for May is Bike Month, log your rides, and win prizes!
Five cyclists, 3 wearing helmets, ride down a residential street.

May is Bike Month is a campaign where we celebrate our local bike culture and encourage new and experienced riders to replace their car trips with bike trips. The average car trip to run errands is 1-3 miles. This is a distance perfect for cycling.

Bicycling saves you money and time, is good for the environment, great for your wellbeing, and strengthens our local cycling community.
