Did you know Burning Man had its humble but wild beginnings at San Francisco’s own Baker Beach? Did you also know that bikes play a huge part of life on the Playa? In honor of Burning Man taking place during Bike Party, and maybe because some of us wish we could be part of the festivities, we will revisit the birthplace of Burning Man on our bikes!

SFBP #66 White Wedding
2016-08-05 19:30
What’s the one thing usually missing from all the weddings you’ll attend this summer? Bikes! It’s wedding season and we’re busting out the white lace, tulle, and ruffles for a Bike Party you won’t soon forget! Unlike Billy Idol’s classic, we’ll be bringing bikes to this wedding! Billy Idol rocked last year’s Outside Lands and this Bike Party will coincide with the first day of the festival.
We are working on a route that allows folks to attend both Bike Party and Outside Lands…more to come on that!
In the meantime, get yourself gussied up and take inspiration from some of our favorite wedding looks from Madonna to Princess Kate! You can take this theme in any direction…punk, goth, 80’s, traditional, victorian, thrift store chic, zombie, etc… cause “There’s nothin’ sure in this world…” except Bike Party!
HOW WE RIDE:
+Stay in the Right Lane
+Stop at Red Lights
+Leave No Trace
+Ride Predictably and in Control
+Roll Past Conflict
+Ride Prepared
+When in Doubt, â€œBike Party!!â€
Friendly reminder that SF Bike Party is a volunteer run, community based event. We ask our participants to be radically self reliant and come prepared. This means that your bike should be in good working order, equipped with brakes, lights and fully inflated wheels. Extra tubes and bike tools are always a plus, as you never know when you might get a flat. While Bike Party aims to leave no rider behind, we are not always able to provide bicycle maintenance, supplies or tools in the event of a mechanical failure.
Route map to come. Thanks for your patience while our all volunteer team tests it out!

San Jose Bike Party Presents The Ladies Ride 2016
2016-07-09 17:00 | tba
San Jose Bike Party is hosting our fifth annual Ladies Ride! Come out for music, food, riding, and good company. Ladies of all riding backgrounds, including beginners, are encouraged to attend as the pace of the ride will be relaxed. The route is approximately 15 miles through the streets of San Jose, including rest stops at Willow Street Frank Bramhall Park and Guadalupe Gardens. The woman-owned food truck Mio Taco will be available at the ride start and regroups for riders.
Our goal with the Ladies Ride is to reduce the gender gap in bicycle riding, where we see more men riding than women. We hope that this ride will provide women and girls with a comfortable and supportive environment to ride their bikes around town. We also hope that this ride will give local female riders a chance to try San Jose Bike Party.
Meeting Point: Williams Street Park: Â 750 E William St, San Jose CA.
Date & Time: Â Saturday July 9, 2016 05:00pm

East Bay Bike Party July: It's All Greek to Me!
2016-07-08 19:30
“It’s a toga party
Who could ask for more
It’s a toga party
Leave your monotheism at the door”
-Aristotle
How we do:
Stop at Lights (they are signs from the gods)
Stay Right (riding in the left lane is soooooo Trojan)
Pack Your Trash (this ain’t Mt. Olympus — no one’s cleaning up after you)
Donâ€™t Get Smashed (don’t embarrass yourself OR Dionysus)
Ride Straight (be as predictable as the translation of the Odyssey you read in high school)
Donâ€™t Hate (just rollllll past conflict, Sisyphus)
~I CAN’T BELIEVE I HAVE TO SAY THIS, WHICH MEANS I SHOULD PROBABLY SAY IT~: If you’re gonna wear a toga (and I sure am!), make sure you can ride in it 🙂
Meetup Mosswood Park (4 blocks from MacArthur BART) at 7:30 PM, Rollout 8 PM. The ride will end ~1 mile from Downtown Berkeley BART
