May is National Bike Month, as well as Bike Month for Napa County. Each year, the Napa County Bicycle Coalition organizes a series of events and programs to encourage infrequent riders to get out and try riding a bike. In past years, the City of Napa, along with other Napa County jurisdictions, supported the Bike Month activities through donations. If the donation is approved, the City would again be joining other local agencies and organizations in supporting the Napa County Bicycle Coalition in organizing activities to promote Bike Month 2022.
This year for Bike Month 2022, the following events are planned to take place:
Pledge to Ride - Napa County Bicycle Coalition's Pledge to Ride allows Napa County residents to sign up online to pledge to ride their bike on Bike to Work and School Day to be entered into prize drawings.
Bike Rodeos - To help youth prepare to ride on Bike to Work & School Day, Napa County Bicycle Coalition will be partnering with local schools and Police Departments to hold multiple bike rodeos, which teach bike safety skills and build confidence by allowing youth to practice safe riding.
Bike to Work and School Day - Occurring on Friday, May 20, this event encourages people to leave their car at home and ride to work and school instead. Energizer Stations will be located throughout Napa County and are hosted by local volunteers, merchants, and sponsoring organizations. They are stocked with snacks and other bike-themed giveaways encouraging those riding their bikes.
