May is Bike Month
Join us as we celebrate one of the greatest inventions of all time – the bicycle. With bike stations, high-security racks and lockers continuing to roll out at more stations, BART is committed to making it easier for you to reach your destination with a bicycle.
Whether you want to find the best shop to have your bike worked on, try a more active commute with bike share or take a weekend ride all the way to the top of Mt. Diablo, we have you covered.
Looking for more bike-related events in May? Check out the calendars of local bicycle advocacy groups, Bike East Bay and the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition.
Like free stuff? Take the pledge to ride to work on Bike to Work Day, May 9, and get $10 off at Mike's Bikes.
Show us how you're rollin' on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Even though the daylight is dwindling, the fall offers some spectacular scenery, so why not take a bicycle ride to enjoy it?
Use BART to connect with the San Francisco Bay Trail, a 330-mile long shoreline path, bridging the gap between our communities and the natural landscape of the Bay Area. The whole family can enjoy an out-and-back bike trip to San Leandro Marina Park.
