May marks National Bike Month when we celebrate the many benefits of bicycling. Whether you bike for transportation, recreation, or fitness, Bike Month is a perfect opportunity to support sustainable mobility and reconnect with your local community on two wheels.
As we kick off Bike Month, we'd like to start by saying a huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Active Streets: Mission-to-Mission, presented by Metro Los Angeles and hosted by SGVCOG. This open-streets event was a massive success thanks to the participation of the cities of San Gabriel, Alhambra, and South Pasadena and, of course, all of YOU who made the event so memorable!
If you're ready to get rolling this month, check out these awesome upcoming Bike Month events in the San Gabriel Valley. We will be updating this post with more events throughout the month. If you have events to recommend, please email us at info@activesgv.org.
