It’s May, and warm weather is here to stay! There’s no better time to hop on your bike – whether it’s a traditional bike, an e-bike, or even a unicycle – and enjoy the fresh air and warm sun! The organizers of Bike To Wherever Days are excited to see communities across the Bay roll out, have fun, and experience just how enjoyable bike commuting can be.

VTA will have its very own energizer station at the Gilroy Transit Center on Thursday, May 15, from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. with snacks, coffee, and water for you to fuel up and start your day fresh. Don’t forget to register for Pledge to Ride so you can pick up a free tote bag on Bike to Work Day at our VTA energizer station and be entered to win prizes throughout May.
