Bike Month 2017

Bike to Work Day was Thursday, May 18, 2017!  

Bike to Work Day is a nationally recognized event celebrated annually in May. Since May is also National Bike Month, San Diegans have opportunities to GO by BIKE all month long. Bike Month 2017 supported biking as an everyday, environmentally friendly, cost-saving commute choice.  

Bike to Work Day 2017. More than 10,500 visits at 100 pit stops were recorded on Bike to Work Day, Thursday, May 18. Hundreds of volunteers staffed pit stops throughout the region for participants to rest, enjoy refreshments and snacks, and pick up a free commemorative Bike to Work Day 2017 t-shirt. Photos of the event can be found on the iCommute Facebook page.

Thanks to our partners. iCommute organized Bike to Work Day 2017 with the help of event supporters, including Clif Bar, Suja Juice, GoGo SqueeZ, Cycle Quest, Revolution Bike Shop, Velofix, Mission Trails Bike Shop, Moment Bicycles, DecoBike, San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, and Sport RX.

In support of the San Diego Regional Bike to Work Day and National Bike Month in May, the SANDAG GO by BIKE and iCommute teams awarded grants of up to $3,000 for programs or projects that educate, promote, and encourage biking as an everyday transportation choice.
