Bike the Bay

Bike the Bay Rolls into its 19th year on Sunday, August 23

San Diego’s summer cycling tradition will have waves of riders departing Embarcadero Marina Park South from 6:30 – 8 am. Riders have the rare opportunity to pedal across the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge and experience the beauty of the Bayshore Bikeway on a fully supported, non-competitive ride.

A fundraiser for the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, the ride highlights the region’s commitment to active transportation, community connection, and scenic exploration. Bike the Bay: Your Way, with three ride length options:

1. The traditional 25-mile route winds through five vibrant cities and along San Diego’s stunning waterfront;
2. The 50-mile route makes the same loop twice, providing avid riders two opportunities to enjoy the views and vibes;
3. The 5-mile route turns off immediately after the bridge and includes a return ferry ticket.

With three ways to bike the bay, it’s perfect for casual riders, families, and experienced cyclists alike. Class 1 & 2 e-bikes are welcome!

At the post-ride festival at Embarcadero Marina Park South, riders can unwind and enjoy complimentary live music by award-winning local artist Elizabeth Bowersox, play cornhole, join a guided yoga routine, or relax on picnic blankets.

There will be plenty of food and refreshments available, including coffee from Café Suavecito and Café Moto, street tacos from Taquizas Jose, and beer from Coronado Brewing Company in the bayside beer garden. Plus, this year we are offering staffed, secure bike parking. All participants go home with a finisher medal that doubles as a coaster!
