Bike to Wherever Day: Frequently Asked Questions

Is it Bike to WORK Day or Bike to WHEREVER Day?

It's both! Until 2020 Bike to Work Day encouraged commuters to ditch their car and hop on their bike to work. In 2026 work looks very different for many people so we hope you will take this opportunity to ride wherever on May 14.

What is the deal with the Pledge to Ride?

When you sign up, you'll receive a map of Energizer Stations, bike offers and discounts, and a limited edition 2026 messenger bag. It's also one of the ways that Bike East Bay records ridership on May 14. Pledge to ride here.

What is a Bike Champion of the Year (BCOY)?

Every year, each of the nine Bay Area Counties selects their own Bike Champion of the Year. These champions are recognized for their dedication to promoting bicycling as a primary mode of transportation and for their ability to inspire others in their local communities. Nominations are made in March, with the BCOY awarded at the beginning of May as part of the Bike Month celebration. Learn about the2026 Bike Champions and see who was selected to represent your county.
