Bike Month Activities
Ahhh...bike month.
The one time of year everybody dusts off their bike, airs up their tires and takes their bike for a spin. Wait a minute? One month a year? That’s no good. We want you to ride all year long, not just in May.
But May is a special month. A month devoted to the bike. One where we encourage others to rediscover their bike and the joy that comes from riding. So I Bike Fresno will have a virtual bike buffet of fun things coming this May. You’ll be able to find more details in our calendar, news and blog posts.
You may as well get out your bike now. You know...so you’re ready to go. Event details and dates subject to change
Million Mile Challenge
May 1 - May 31We are challenging the Greater Fresno area to ride one million miles in the month of May. We’re challenging you to find new, exciting and sometimes ordinary ways to ride your bike everyday in May. To the store, to work, to the park, on the bike trails, on the bike lanes, on your residential streets...every mile counts as we try to pedal together towards this awesome goal.

What is bike valet? Well, it’s exactly like it sounds. Ride your bike to the Clovis Farmers Market and we’ll valet park your bike for free (tips welcome). Just come to our booth and we’ll park your bike and watch it for you. Enjoy the food and fun and when you’re done; retrieve your bike, saddle up and ride home. Booth will be located at 5th & Pollasky. Click here for the flyer.
The great thing about the CFM is that it’s located right off the Sugar Pine Trail. You can ride the trail from as far as Riverpark and ride right into Downtown Clovis.
