Let me guide you to the purple ride

Got your suit and tie? Join us May 20th at 7:30PM at San Jose Bike Party where we will show off our finest purple ensemble!

Don a top hat, grab a suit jacket, dust off that dress, make it purple, show up, and we’ll do the rest!

Guerillaz in Da Mixx and DJ Live will be bringing you the regroup beats at the mobile dance floor. We’ll also be running our #LightMeUp free safety light distribution. If you don’t have a front and rear light for your bike, come see the Bike Party Birds at the start, 7:30PM, to get yours. Lights this month are provided courtesy of  a grant from San Jose District 3 Councilmember Raul Peralez.  Through this contribution, we were able to procure another 380 lights to give away to our riders who do not have lights on their bikes. This brings us to over 1000 lights so far for this program.

Thanks to Dora Tellio for the art this month!

And best of all, for your enjoyment, porta potties!

Be visible and bring some water. We also encourage cyclists to ride to the start rather than drive; reducing auto traffic and parking demand.

Everyone is welcome to attend this event, but please, read and follow our “How We Ride” guidelines to keep everyone safe and to keep San Jose Bike Party rolling!
