May is Bike Month

Wednesday, May 15, 2024

Welcome to Bike Everywhere Month at the University of Washington. Whether you are a seasoned cyclist or haven’t been on a bicycle in years, this is the time to “come” together and celebrate biking.

Register for the Bike Everywhere Challenge

Your bike ride doesn’t have to be a part of your commute or even to campus. Consider riding to your next errand, the grocery store, your favorite local business, or to the park. If you need a break while teleworking, consider working in a “fake commute” ride into your daily routine to get in some exercise and to enjoy time outside.

Prizes

Build camaraderie, log those miles and win some prizes from our awesome sponsors. To be entered in to win one of the weekly prizes, all you need is a bike, a helmet and to log at least one ride per week.

Weekly Prizes

TS Bike Month SWAG pack Containing a seatcover, a red rear blinking light, a TS Bike Month Bandana, sunglasses, and Bike Month stickers

SKS Germany water bottle

SKS clip on rear fender

Bike to Work Day 2024

May 17 - Bike to Work/Campus Day

UW is hosting a Celebration Station on Ride Everywhere Day on from 7:30-10 a.m. on Friday, May 17, with snacks and give-aways for participating cyclists. The UW Transportation Services Station will be located on the Burke Gilman Trail, just southwest of the Life Sciences building.

For a list of all participating Celebration Stations in the Seattle area, or other events for Bike Everywhere Month, visit the Cascade Bicycle Club website.

Don’t have a team to join?

Consider creating a team with your peers and colleagues. Who better to build community and camaraderie with than your fellow Zoom buddies or those that are going to the same place on campus?
