When is Bike to Work Day?

The San Francisco Bay Area's 20th annual Bike to Work Day will take place on Thursday, May 8, 2014 with all nine Bay Area counties participating in the celebration. The event is part of National Bike Month.

What Happens on Bike to Work Day?

Energizer Stations are located along Bay Area county commute routes where bicyclists can stop for refreshments, giveaways, and bicycling information or simply to be 'cheered on' by fellow participants. Energizer Stations will be open during morning commute hours and some will even re-open during the evening commute. Stay tuned for updated information about Energizer Station locations, Bike to Work Week activities and Bike to Work Day "after parties."

Why Bike to Work?

More than one million Bay Area residents live within five miles of their workplace, an ideal distance for bicycling. The work commute only represents 23% of all trips, so consider how you also may be able to bike to shop, to school, for errands, and for social events. In a world concerned with climate change, pollution, congestion and wasted time, the question should really be: Why not bike to work?

The Orinda Energizer Station is located at St. Stephen's Bike Trail and Davis Rd adjacent to the de Laveaga Train Station, open 6-9AM.
