Cats have nine lives.
Cyclists just like to pretend we do. 😼
This month, San Jose Bike Party is getting a little feral with 9 Lives on 2 Wheels!
Channel your inner alley cat, house cat, scaredy cat, cool cat, crazy cat or whatever kind of creature you become once the sun goes down and the bikes come out.
Cat ears, tails, whiskers, leopard print, black cats, big cats, Cheshire cats, cat ladies, full costumes.. We want to see all nine of your personalities come out to play.
Tasha is leading the pack through the streets of San Jose for a night of bikes, music, glowing lights, and enough feline energy to make the neighborhood dogs nervous.
You may have nine lives, but let’s ride like we’ve only got one! 🐈⬛

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, a 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.
#ManageYourMischief
#SlowDown
#ItsNotARace
Please ride predictably.
⸻
LIGHT UP YOUR BIKE.
Headlights are required by law.
Tail lights are strongly suggested.
We highly encourage you to light up your entire bike. Being seen can save your life.
