Time to gear up!

We had so much fun with Bike Month we are back with another challenge. Santa Cruz Biketober is happening October 1^st – 31^st. Whether you’re building on your base miles from July or just getting started, we have a whole month to do some serious riding. Okay, not too serious...

Set a goal for yourself and/or your company, enjoy a ride*, win prizes, and share your stories.  

• Each week, there will be prizes up for grabs. To show some #bikelovesc to our community and our local bike shops, we are giving away $100 gift cards to five lucky winners each week…for five straight weeks! Yeah, that’s 25 chances to win!

• Register, Ride, and Win! Just Register with Love to Ride (if you haven’t already), ride your bike (the more the better! To be eligible, log at least one ride per week on Love to Ride), and win a $100 gift card to the shop of your choice!  

• Share a story and post a photo! We want to capture all the bike awesomeness that’s happening in Santa Cruz and share the stoke county-wide. 

Are you curious about how to ride your bike safely and confidently around our county? Want to learn the rules of the road and how you fit in with the flow of traffic on a bike? How about gear selection, locking your bike, riding at night, or choosing a route? Join Ecology Action staff on Wednesday, October 14 at 12pm for a free workshop.

#bikelovesc is how we’re helping share the stoke. Bicycling is a healthy, affordable, and climate-friendly form of transportation and recreation. We believe that everyone who wants to ride a bike should be able to, wherever their destination and whatever their purpose.
