Raising Funds for Safer Streets
Every registration directly funds cycling infrastructure in the Bay Area. Protected bike lanes. Safer intersections. Better signage. We call it "Safe Streets" because when cycling gets safer, everyone benefits—cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers alike.
Since 2014, The Bay Ride has funded real improvements across San Francisco, Oakland, and the greater Bay Area. Your ride makes it happen.

Our Story
In 2014, three friends had a crazy idea: bike around the entire Bay Area. From that adventure—and the desire to change lives through challenge and the discovery of outdoor beauty—The Bay Ride was born.
What started with 3 riders has grown to 1,000 participants annually. We've sold out every year for 11 years in a row—spots are limited!
