The CycleMAYnia Event Calendar highlights the events in May, as well as a few still to come.

What is CycleMAYnia?

Most of us know that 'commuter' or 'lifestyle' bicycling is healthy, fun and great for the bottom line and now WE ARE GOING TO CELEBRATE IT!

Bicycling members of the community, along with the Bicycle Coalition and Traffic Solutions have come up with a full month of bike events that celebrate the many types of cycling that are available in our community. Join in CycleMAYnia for rides and events for kids, families, adults, fun, education, safety, competition, challenge, commuting and more!

History:

Each May since 1994, the Bicycle Coalition, the City of Santa Barbara, and Traffic Solutions, have promoted activities that encourage people to enjoy bicycling more.  This has always included Bike to Work Day that attracts 500 to 2000 bicyclists to multiple sites around Santa Barbara County, and rewards those who regularly bicycle, as well as encourages first-timers to give it a chance.  Starting in 1999 Bike to Work Day was expanded to Bike Week and now in 2010 our community has launched CycleMAYnia, a full-fledged Bike Month, with an open and inclusive planning process.
