Join thousands of happy cyclists on Thursday for Bike to Work Day. Last year bikes outnumbered cars on Market Street during the morning commute! Help make this Bike To Work Day another record breaking success.

Press releases: Record Number To Burn Calories Not Gasoline On Bike To Work Day (May 15) and SF Gears Up For Bike To Work Day (May 7).

Stop by one of the 25 Energizer Stations around San Francisco and load up on free coffee, yummy snacks and take away a convenient tote bag for future commutes.

2. Ride your bike.
We can match you up with a free bike buddy, a skilled bike commuter who can show you and your pals the best route. Or meet up in your neighborhood and ride downtown with convoy of cyclists on a pedal powered Bike-Bus.

3. Spread the bike love.
Email a quick note to friends and co-workers about Bike to Work Day. Help us distribute posters by stopping by SFBC HQ or print your own posters.

4. Unwind at the Bike Away from Work Party.

Energizer Stations

Over 63 East Bay Energizer Stations will be buzzing the morning of Bike to Work Day throughout Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. We've been busy stuffing almost 6000 mussette and tote bags with great swag to hand-out to early-bird bicycle commuters on May 15! To get signed up as a super volunteer for Bike to Work Day, contact Dave Campbell or drop by EBBC's office at Fruitvale Village (BART), 3301 E 12th St, #143.

Chipotle is offering a free burrito, bol, tacos or salad to all bicyclists who bring their musette bag and ride to a Chipotle burrito shop. Chipotle is also stepping up to provide free burrito to all "evening" Energizer Stations in the East Bay.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
