Bike To Work Day 2023

BIKE TO WORK DAY 2023 IS ALMOST HERE!

JOIN US FOR HAPPY HOUR IN OLD OAKLAND

Oakland’s biggest Energizer Station on Bike To Work Day is the Old Oakland Happy Hour on Thursday, May 18 from 4pm to 7pm. We will take up two blocks on Washington Street between 8th and 10th Streets for a celebratory evening to close out Bike To Work Day.  Bike East Bay and WOBO have teamed up to bring a pedal powered DJ party by Rock The Bike, art bikes from The Crucible, demo bus bike racks a la AC Transit, and a chance to chat one-on-one with advocates and the City’s staff and Bicyclist and Pedestrian Advisory Commission. 

Bike party in Old Oakland

We welcome children, school kids, families, neighbors, health and wellness groups, and anyone willing to roll through Oakland together to celebrate with us! 

AND

We are honored that Mayor Sheng Thao will join our festivities along with other elected officials.

BONUS

Drakes Brewing will donate free beer for the first 200 folks. Bring your ID!  

Old Oakland is also the perfect area to graze at local restaurants and markets. We will see you there!
