Celebrate Bike to Work Day on May 16

Bike to Work Day is focused on getting people to trade their vehicle for a bike for their commute to work. Not only is biking a mode of transportation that is better for the environment, our health, and our wallets, it also helps to reduce traffic congestion on our roads and freeways.
Get Started
Pledge to ride your bike to work! Help us set a new Bike to Work Day record by taking the Pledge to Ride. Then encourage your friends, family and co-workers to take the pledge too!
Plan Your RouteThere are 113 miles of bike lanes in Santa Monica, 19 of which are now painted green! Start with the City’s map or use Google Maps. Need help? GoSaMo is here for you!
