BIKE TO WHEREVER DAY 2026
Let’s Get Rolling!
Bike to Wherever Day on May 14, 2026 is a celebration of bicycles as a fun and healthy way to get around and to try the No Pollute Commute. It’s also an opportunity for those who don’t usually bike to try it. No matter where you need to go, we encourage you to pedal for errands, to visit friends and family, commute, and anywhere you need to go!
Here are just two ways to enjoy this annual celebration on Thursday, May 14.
#1. Roll up to City Hall in a “Pedal Pool” on the morning of BTWD with local elected officials and Bicyclist and Pedestrian Advisory Commissioners from one of several locations the morning of May 14. Complimentary Coffee and PANCAKES await you at City Hall.
