Join Santa Cruz Bike Party for their Biketober installment. Meet at Depot Park at 7pm.
Santa Cruz Bike Party is a mobile party for riders of all ages, experience levels, and types to meet, ride, and play together in the streets. Rides are 7-10 miles long with music and dance breaks along the way. Rides move at a relatively slow pace and no one is left behind. Each ride has a theme and riders are encouraged to wear costumes or decorate their bikes to fit the theme.

Join us for the Birds, Bikes, Burritos event in Watsonville, where we’ll explore the scenic wetland trails on two wheels! This family-friendly event, led by Ecology Action, Bird School Project, and Latino Outdoors, invites you to bring your own bike and enjoy a guided ride through the beautiful wetlands. Don’t worry if you don’t have binoculars—we’ll have some available to borrow for bird watching along the way. After the ride, we’ll gather to enjoy delicious burritos and share our experiences. It’s a perfect way to celebrate the beauty of Watsonville’s wetlands and the rich diversity of our local community. Come celebrate Biketober!

This workshop is offered both as an in-person lunch-and-learn at the Civic and virtually via Zoom.
E-bikes are here to stay, and with the right preparation, riding them can be safe and rewarding. The fact that they tend to be faster, offer powerful acceleration, and be heavier than standard bikes means that they require some additional know-how to operate safely.
That’s why we’re here – we’ll be your guides to everything you need to know to get the most out of your e-bike, whether it’s your own personal bike, or a BCycle bike share.
