What | After a four-year in-person hiatus, Bike Palo Alto is back! This cherished community event offers participants maps to help them discover quieter Palo Alto bicycle routes. Discover bike bridges, off-road trails and underpasses, bike boulevards, protected bike lanes, and alternative bicycle routes that connect you to Palo Alto parks, libraries and other local destinations. Planned bike routes take you into local parks, open space and other destinations, including: the Baylands, El Palo Alto (our city’s namesake redwood tree), meet Perry, the model for the donkey in Shrek on Barron Park trail and stop for ice cream or other snacks along the way. Enjoy the Fairmeadow event fair. At the Stanford Research Park booth, receive rechargeable bike tail lights and make your own trail mix to enjoy along the way (while supplies last). Other booths offer: Mini bike tune-ups to ensure an easier ride, a traffic garden for practicing bike handling off road, a booth where you can talk with city planners about improving bike routes. Families can visit the Safe Routes to School information booth. |
Why | Palo Alto is a bike-friendly place, especially when you know the best bicycle routes to get around. Join us for a happy afternoon of discovery and fun on bikes. |
How | Bring your bike, a helmet and something to carry your treats and a water bottle. Register online or at the school, select a route map and ride! |
