Come join Major Taylor Bay Area and Sports Basement for the 4th Annual Juneteenth Bike Ride—a daytime ride in celebration of Black joy, freedom, and community.
With Juneteenth falling on a Thursday this year, we’re switching things up with a morning-to-midday ride, complete with colorful outfits, music, and good vibes. No lycra necessary—just roll up in something that feels expressive and free. Add lights to your bike, bring a speaker if you have one, and let’s make this a rolling celebration of liberation.
We’ll be meeting at 10:00 AM at Sports Basement Berkeley, then rolling out at 11:00 AM for a no-drop social ride down to Lake Merritt and back again. The ride will be followed by post-ride food, drinks, and community time back at the store—so plan to hang out!
As always, this is a family-friendly event, but note that we’ll be riding on open roads. Please ensure any kids are confident riders who can handle the distance and terrain. Your safety is your own responsibility—ride smart, look out for one another, and don’t hesitate to ask for help from our MTBA ride crew.
