“Bike Anywhere Day” Coronado Pit Stops – May 16

May is National Bike Month, which provides communities the chance to showcase the many benefits of cycling and to encourage people to bike more. On Thursday, May 16, Coronado will participate in San Diego County’s regional “Bike Anywhere Day.” Most SANDAG pit stops are scheduled to be open from 7 to 10 a.m.

Join thousands across the San Diego region in riding to work, school, or anywhere. The warmer weather provides the perfect time to take advantage of Coronado’s bike-friendly trails and routes. Participants can stop by and pick up a free t-shirt and snacks at one of three Coronado pit stops.

The City of Coronado sponsored pit stop will be near the Community Center, on the Coronado promenade between 6 and 9 a.m. 

A Coronado pit stop organized by Naval Base Coronado will be at First Street and Alameda, outside of Gate 2, the Port Gate.

A third Coronado pit stop is hosted by the Coronado Ferry Landing, Holland’s Bicycles and Crown City Cyclists. This one will be onboard the commuter ferry beginning at 5:30 a.m.

For further riding, find the SANDAG Bike Anywhere Day 2024 Pit Stop Map to plan your stops ahead of the annual event on Thursday morning, May 16.

For more than 30 years, SANDAG has hosted this regional event to celebrate National Bike Month in May and promote biking as a fun, practical, and healthy way to get around. In 2023, more than 7,500 people pedaled across the region to Bike Anywhere Day pit stops.

This year, participants 18 and older who live or work in the San Diego region and sign up for Bike Anywhere Day will be automatically entered for the chance to win one of three e-bikes, courtesy of Velotric. Participants can also sign up for an additional sweepstakes at any pit stop for the chance to win an e-bike, courtesy of Rad Power Bikes.

On Bike Anywhere Day, participants can explore nearly 1,800 miles of bikeways throughout the region, from Oceanside to El Cajon to Tijuana. The SANDAG Bike Anywhere Day 2024 Pit Stop Map includes more than 100 locations for participants to visit on their rides.

Pit stops will provide fun and engaging opportunities for bike riders to take breaks, pick up a free commemorative t-shirt (below), and grab refreshments and snacks while supplies last. Pit stops are hosted by healthcare organizations, local businesses, government agencies, colleges and schools, bike shops, and event sponsors.

SANDAG Bike Anywhere Day is supported by Cox Communications, GoGo squeeZ, and Prime Hydration.
