#Pothole
Challenge

Join us for a week of action, January 12-19, 2026!

Did you know January 15 is National Pothole Day? Drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and city officials all agree that potholes are dangerous, frustrating hazards that cause injury and expensive damage. The #PotholeChallenge is Bike East Bay’s way to encourage individual, direct action in making a difference in your city during the week January 12-19.
