Host an Energizer Station
On Bike to Wherever Day, over 20,000 East Bay residents will pedal to visit over 100 Energizer Stations to grab a free bag filled with goodies and celebrate the joy of biking everywhere.
Stations are free to host, and you’ll get extensive support from Bike East Bay. Put the station in front of your business, your gathering space, or transit hub and let folks know who you are while creating a real-world connection between your organization and the community around you. It’s fun, generates goodwill, and showcases the vibrancy of your city.
Bike to Wherever Day, happening Thursday, May 15, 2025, is the East Bay’s premier celebration of biking, bringing together a vibrant community of over tens of thousands of riders across all ages and backgrounds. Join us as a sponsor for the most joyful biking day of the year!

About Bike to Work Day
Each year, we celebrate the entire month of May as Bike Month with a special day during the month designated as Bike to Work Day.
Pre-pandemic, Bike to Work Day (BTWD) was a celebration of bicycles as a fun and healthy way to get to work, as well as an opportunity for those who don’t usually bike commute to try it out. It’s also a time to advocate for improved bicycle infrastructure and safety.
During the pandemic and over the last couple of years, the event evolved into Bike to Wherever Days to encourage riders to get out and pedal to do errands, meet friends outdoors, and for some to get to work safely and easily.
Now in 2025, we embrace both events and encourage the community to pedal to do errands, visit friends and family, commute to work, and ride recreationally.
