Join Mayor Kirk Caldwell and HBL to kick off Bike Month!

AND he’ll formally proclaim May as Bike Month. We’ll follow up the proclamation with a celebratory group down King St and back. Bring a helmet and safely functioning bike to participate in the ride, taking off around 3:45pm.

National Bike to School Day
@Various schools!
Bike to School Day connects communities with many issues such as creating safer and more friendly routes for biking and walking to school, building a sense of community or school spirit, and inspiring families to walk and bike to school more often. This year, we invite you to take advantage of your event to talk about walking and biking safety for everyone.

Bikes, Beaches, Babes (& Babies)!
@Magic Island
Calling all women (as well as those that identify as female and lady-supporters)! Come out to Magic Island on May 11th for a pre-Mother’s Day event where we’ll enjoy the sun, beautiful beaches, bike paths, and the company of awesome ladies who bike (or are looking to get cycling)! This is our take on CycloFemme, an international event held on to celebrate women who bike – of all ethnicities, ages, bike preference. We’ll have pupus and refreshments, a free flat fixing clinic (for ladies only), and one lucky mom will go home with a Thule RideAlong child carrier for her bike (valued at $180), donated by Thule, and a free helmet for her keiki (donated by DOH)!

Bike to the Zoo
@Honolulu Zoo (151 Kapahulu Ave, Honolulu, HI 96815)
There are so many reasons to bike and here’s one more – bike to the Honolulu Zoo on May 19th and get in for FREE! On top of that, HBL will valet your bike for free (meaning you don’t have to worry about locking up your bike)! The event is made possible by the City and County of Honolulu and part of their work to get more people cycling. If you want to take advantage of the free bike valet – enter at the back gate on Monsarrat Ave.

Bike to Lunch Day
@Your workplace, to lunch!
Grab your work buddies and friends and bike to lunch on Wednesday, May 23rd. And then make it a monthly/weekly/daily(!) tradition.

Location – from your work to your favorite restaurant!
