Bike to Work Challenge

On May 20th, people across the country will get up, get ready for work, and...get on their bikes. Join them and take our Bike to Work Challenge! If you live and work here in the South Bay there’s still plenty of time to research your safest and easiest route to work. Visit Google Maps Biking Directions website for route ideas.

Biking is fun, healthy, and it's good for the planet too. In the greater Los Angeles area, an amazing 60% of our greenhouse gases come from our daily transportation decisions. If you would like to get involved in the Bike to Work Challenge, contact the South Bay Bicycle Coalition for more information.
