 BikeSGV kicks off Bike Month in the SGV 5/9 May is National Bike Month, which means lots of cool, free and fun bike-related events and activities will be taking place across the region. In other words, now is an awesome time to get out your calendar, dust off that bike, get out of the house and ride! BikeSGV Open House Social - Fri May 9th BikeSGV will formally kick off festivities in the San Gabriel Valley on Friday May 9th with an Open House Social in El Monte. The fun-filled evening will feature food, drink, project updates, and plenty of time to socialize with people who like to bike from across the SGV. Check out our Facebook page for more information.
Car-Free Colorado, Pro Racing + BikeSGV Member Zone in Pasadena - 5/17 The route for K.P. "Ride, Roll and Stroll" will open Colorado Blvd. to bicyclists, walkers, joggers and more! A week later two exciting events are coming to the City of Pasadena, the Kaiser Permanente Ride, Roll and Stroll open streets event and the Amgen Tour of California. The former will be the City's first official "Open Streets" event, similar to cicLAvia, but on a smaller scale. The latter is the biggest professional bike race in the United States, and will feature top athletes from around the world. BikeSGV will be hosting a FREE bicycle valet for both events adjacent to route/race course across the street from Pasadena City Hall at our partner organization Day One's fenced in headquarters. Ride over, drop off your bike, and if you're a BikeSGV member, enjoy an array of light, healthy snacks and fruit-flavored waters from 12-2pm!

I enjoyed the sumo wrestling on Saturday May 24 and the cleaning up part on Sunday May 25 was pretty fun. I learned that you can't be shy at talking to a group of new people. I think a good way to attract people is to put it on billboards, put it on a tv commercial, and pass out on flyers. I think i might want to participate in another ever like this.

On the 24th this event at mountain view was fun with the Sumo section to the stands about health. When helping out I found that everyone need to be organized and understand they need to do. A thing that could be improved is by making posters. Since I really enjoyed the sum wrestling I might even try out for wrestling and join another event and help. Thanks

I enjoyed helping out in the event. I learned that it takes pride and commitment to lead an organized event. Helping out at the event inspired me to volunteer more in events.

I enjoyed the cooking event not only because cooking is fun to me but it was also a very healthy experience. It doesnt take much to make an event just a couple of responsible people. and some tolerance. This event made want to participate more on activities. Any activities, from school to community.......

What I enjoyed about the event on May 24th is that on a board there was sugar in sandwich bags and the sugar represented how much sweet is in your drinks like soda and energy drinks. While being there I notice that in order to start building the tents you need to first figure out where is all the electricity going to be coming from. It looks easy telling people what to do, but it's not. Running a community events, like these could be a little difficult because when you tell people what to do they don't always do it correctly. Probably if there was a tent and the topic was preparing healthy food it could get people's attention for example making salads or fruit/veggie juices. By participating in this event it has inspired me to get involved in these types of activities.

I attended the El Monte High school event in 5/24. What I enjoyed was that it was kind of like an early morning exercise. It gave me ideas for fun next time there's a party at my house. What I think that would improve experience is to spread the advertisements across the area. This experience inspired me to go on bike to the river bed.

I attended the event on 5/31 cleaning up the nature center on durfee. I enjoyed walking around and watering the plants. I learned it takes responsibility to lead a community event. I think that advertisement and people spreading the word around the community would bring in more participants. The event encouraged me to get out more help the community and exercise
