May is Bike Month
Celebrate Cycling in Sacramento!
Register for May is Bike Month, log your rides, and contribute to a healthy community in Sacramento.
Five cyclists, 3 wearing helmets, ride down a residential street.

May is Bike Month is a campaign where we celebrate our local bike culture and encourage new and experienced riders to replace their car trips with bike trips. The average car trip to run errands is 1-3 miles. This is a distance easily bikeable by people of all skill levels.

Bicycling saves you money and time, is good for the environment, great for your wellbeing, and supports local bike advocacy.

How to Participate

  • Create an account on NorCalGo
  • Once you join, you can log your rides and miles on NorCalGo in May to win bikes, t-shirts, gift cards, park passes and more!
  • Riders who register before April 28th are entered to win a commemorative May is Bike Month t-shirt. 

May is Bike Month has been part of the Sacramento region for over 20 years, and SABA has hosted it for the past five years with support from Sacramento Area Council of Governments.
