#DontBeAJerkFace #ManageYourMischief #ItsNotARace
PLEASE RIDE PREDICTABLY.
LIGHT UP YOUR BIKE ✨
Headlights are required by law and tail lights are strongly suggested. We highly encourage lighting up your entire bike — the brighter, the better!
Think glow, neon, colors, costumes… make it weird, make it wonderful. Being seen can save your life — and makes Bike Party magical.
How We Ride
If you follow these rules, Bike Party stays safe and positive for everyone:
• Ride sober
• Stop at red lights
• Stay to the right
• Pack your trash
• Roll past conflict
• Be nice
Remember: you are responsible for your own behavior. All participants ride at their own risk.
What is San Jose Bike Party?
We’re a rolling party that travels 15–20 miles by bicycle (or scooter, unicycle, tricycle, roller skates, etc.) through the streets of San Jose and the South Bay on the third Friday of every month. Each ride features a new theme, route, and community vibe you won’t want to miss.
Want to help make the magic happen? Message us! We need volunteers to:
– help guide turns
– ride RAVEN trash trikes
– help plan each month’s ride

Having a great time and want to help? We’re always looking for volunteers to help guide riders at corners or to handle other tasks. Talk to any of the “BIRDs” (look for the “bird” logo!) for details. Or you head over to our Donation Page.
