May is for Bike Month and Bike to Wherever Days, and you, your friends, and your family are welcome to ride with us. Will you pledge to ride?Your pledge is free. Riders at any skill and age are welcome. Just by biking, you’ll be helping SVBC on its mission to build healthier and more just communities. We want as many people as possible to take the pledge and to ride. Whether you're pledging to bicycle to work, run a quick errand, or take a trip to wherever on just one day or every day of month – every bike makes a difference. Getting friends and family to pledge as well will maximize both your impact and the amount of fun we can all have together!Those who pledge may show their ticket to get a special limited edition BTWD musette bike bag at an Energizer Station on May 16, 17, and 18 and are also entered in a random drawing for prizes from local bike shops! <h2>More about Bike Month and Bike to Wherever Days</h2>Visit <a href="https://bikesiliconvalley.org/events/btwd" title="https://bikesiliconvalley.org/events/btwd" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://bikesiliconvalley.org/events/btwd </a>to see the latest updates on Bike Month and Bike to Wherever Days.When you pledge, consider making a donation to support Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition's goal to make it safer for all of us to bike around Silicon Valley.Let’s all get rolling!
