We’re back with Test Ride #3 — another preview of our upcoming 9 to 5 to Whenever ride 💼➡️🚲✨
No full theme required (save the main character outfits for May), but if you feel like tapping into office-core, business casual chaos, or after-hours energy… go for it.
This ride is all about dialing in the route, cruising with the crew, and building the hype for next month.
⸻
Why Bike Party?
Because you roll out with us.
San Jose Bike Party is a rolling party traveling 15–20 miles through San Jose and the South Bay on the third Friday of every month. Each ride features a new theme, new starting point, and a route revealed the week of the ride.
We break the ride into three segments with two regroup party stops featuring Guerillaz In Da Mixx and the mobile dance floor.
It’s not just a ride. It’s a moving celebration.
⸻
ALL WHEELS WELCOME — BUT PLEASE CONTROL YOUR ROLL.
