Take a break from this week’s glorious rain riding to come celebrate Bike Party’s 2nd anniversary!

Like the idea of having a regular bar night with discounts for bicyclists? Come out to support Tuesday Bike Night at Campbell’s Sonoma Chicken Coop – this might be the last night for this event unless it gets enough support to continue!

Tuesday Bike Night

Sonoma Chicken Coop
downtown Campbell
(Yelp review & map)
7pm – 10pm

Look for other bicyclists near the entrance (left of the stairs, near the bar).  If we’re not inside, we’re probably out back in the parking garage checking out someone’s bike – just walk straight through past the bathrooms.

Sheltered bike parking is available in the garage behind the restaurant.

Join SJBP as we ride our bicycles to the movies!

See you there!

San Jose Bike Party has teamed up with the amazing Silicon Valley Bicycle Coaltion (the folks that brought you just about every bike trail, lane, facility, and legal right you have in this county) to promote this amazing FREE Bike to the Movies series!

Our friends at Retro Fresh are throwing this event:

Today (Thursday) is Bike to Work Day, in the midst of the just-as-marvellous Bike to Work Week and Bike to Work Month.  Heck, personally I like to make it a Bike to Work Year, but I can see how some people find it hard to Bike Party it up ALL the time.

Anyway, aside from the obvious (hey – bike to work today!), here are some things you can do to celebrate, from the easy to the more involved:

• Sign a petition to Google to make a “bike there” option on their website!
• Read more about Bike to Work Day in the Bay Area and all the events going on on around the Bay Area.
• Tell a friend about Friday’s Bike Party Troll Ride! (Remember, it’s long, so bike to work first to get your exercise in!)
• Visit an energizer station wherever you bike today!
• Help a friend plan a good route to bike to work or school!  Better yet, go with them!
• Attend the Bike Coalition’s Bike Away From Work party from 6-8pm on the Alameda and sign up for an SVBC membership while you’re at it to help support bike advocacy in the South Bay.

Hope to see you on the streets!
