Bike The Limits is back!

Join us for our first Test/Training Ride for our (returning) annual Bike The Limits! We bike the limits of the South Bay as you can bike your personal limits.

Be prepared by bringing water and snacks and $$ as we do make a couple of stops where you can pick up something to snack on or drink. Bring a spare tube and such in case repairs are needed.

🗓 Saturday, March 14

📍 Start/End: San Jose City Hall (200 E. Santa Clara St @ 4th)

Everyone is welcome to attend this event, but please, read and follow our “How We Ride” guidelines to keep everyone safe and to keep San Jose Bike Party rolling!  We share the road with other vehicles and we frequently ride in the dark.

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.

Some helpful hints:

  1. Follow the Law
  2. Be Predictable
