If you’re looking to rediscover the joy and excitement of riding a bike, well here’s your chance.
Leave the car at home and see the city of Pasadena on two wheels during Bike Month Pasadena from May 11 through May 29.
A joint effort between the City and community partners Day One and Pasadena Complete Streets Coalition, this fun annual event returns after a two year hiatus to celebrate bicycling as a safe and sustainable way to get around town.
Organizers have planned free activities all month for riders of all ages and abilities.
