| | Dear Kevin, Thank you for being a member of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition! As a member, we're excited to celebrate the biggest biking day of the year with you for Bike to Work Day, Thursday, May 10. Here is your special Member Guide to get rolling for Bike to Work Day, Thursday May 10.
| In this guide: Find Your Energizer Station and Commuter Convoy Start the morning off by riding your bike to one of San Francisco's 27 Energizer Stations (or down the Penninsula) with a Commuter Convoy! On Bike to Work Day, Thursday, May 10, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition hosts 27 morning and afternoon Energizer Stations across San Francisco where you can get a free reusable canvas tote filled with goodies, fuel-up on snacks and beverages. Commuter Convoys provide the enjoyment and comfort of riding with a group, led by volunteers experienced at bicycle commuting. Commuter Convoys depart from all of San Francisco's eleven districts, heading to City Hall for a press conference with our bicycling city leaders and decision makers. There is even a special commuter convoy for commuters pedaling from San Francisco to as far as Mountain View! Find your Energizer Station and Commuter Convoy at sfbike.org/btwd.
