⚠️ Important Parade Info
THIS IS A PARADE. Parades are super fun, but they are also slow. Be ready to stop a lot, wait a lot, and roll very slowly.
EXTRA PATIENCE REQUIRED.
This is a great opportunity to bring kids to Bike Party, especially if they can handle waiting, idle time, and slow rolling before and during the event.
Please bring:
☀️ Sunscreen
💧 Water
🍎 Snacks
🌂 Parasol or umbrella highly recommended
🧰 Tubes, pumps, and tools to support yourself as needed
Please check your bikes, scooters, skates, boards, and unicycles ahead of time.
Costumes and decorations are always optional, but always fun! There will be a free bike decoration station at our meetup location on the front lawn of Lincoln High School, so arrive early if you want to decorate.

🚗 Parking / Transit / Street Closures
Please arrive early enough to find parking and get yourself saddled up.
The parade starting point near Dana/Shasta and the ending point near Race/Alameda are not the same location, so plan ahead.
Be prepared for street closures.
If you are coming without kiddos, consider parking in a more centralized location and riding over to the high school, taking transit, or riding from home.
