Bike to Wherever Days May 2026

During the month of May, we encourage you to get out and pedal no matter where you need to go: ride to errands; ride to visit friends and family; ride for recreation; ride for your health; and ride for your commute. Ride WHEREVER you need to go!

Solano County, as part of the Nine-County Bay Area Bike To Wherever Days, has a full month of activities including: Bike to School Day on May 6th, Bike Events, a Pledge to Ride, and more. And be sure to come out for Bike to Work Day on Thursday, May 14th! Everyone on two wheels is welcome!

Bike to Work Day

On Thursday, May 14th, the Bay Area will celebrate Bike to Work Day! Volunteers will pass out free, commemorative bike bags in the early morning commute hours at various Solano County energizer stations to bike commuters. Bike commuters can visit to pick up their bike bag with goodies (while supplies last).

Stop by our energizer stations to learn more about Bucks for Bikes and our other commuter incentive programs: Solano Mobility | Commuter Programs.

(Note: National Bike to Work Day is Friday, May 15th, but the Bay Area celebrates on Thursday when more people in our nine counties commute to work.)

Bike to School Day

Each May, students across Solano County strap on their helmets, hop on their bikes and pedal to school on National Bike to School Day, as part of National Bike Month. The Solano Safe Routes to School program sponsored the first event in 2013, and participation continues to grow. This year, Bike to School Day will be held on May 6th, 2026.
