Long Beach, CA ~ As National Bike Month approaches, the City of Long Beach is gearing up to celebrate this annual event with a variety of bike-related activities and events. The city, along with local community groups and neighborhoods across the country, recognizes the importance of bicycling as a fun, healthy, and sustainable mode of transportation.
Residents of all ages are invited to participate in the month-long celebration, which aims to promote safe riding and encourage people to explore Long Beach on two wheels. Mayor Rex Richardson expressed his excitement for National Bike Month, stating that it is a great opportunity for residents to get outdoors, stay active, and discover all that Long Beach has to offer.
With over 150 miles of bikeways already in place, Long Beach makes it easy for everyone to ride not just during National Bike Month but throughout the year. From scenic rides along the San Gabriel River Trail to quick trips using the city's Bike Share program, there are options for riders of all ages and skill levels. And with plans to expand the network to 300 miles by 2040, the city is committed to making bicycling a convenient and everyday way to get around.
National Bike Month offers something for everyone – whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just starting out. Some of the highlighted events include Moonlight Mash hosted by Pedal Movement on May 1st and May 30th at 8 p.m., where participants can enjoy a fun 9-mile social bike ride through Long Beach followed by a beach hangout. On May 2nd at 9 a.m., residents can drop off gently used non-motorized bicycles at four local parks as part of Recycle Your Bicycle event.
