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.
The Bay Ride is put on by a 501(c)(3), and if riding is not in the cards this year, a tax-deductible donation funds the same work.

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 12 years in a row, and spots are limited!
