OCTA National Bike Month

The Orange County Transportation Authority encourages people of all ages, including those working from home, to stay active and get outdoors to safely travel by bicycle during the month of May—National Bike Month.

OCTA is leading a month-long challenge called “Get in Gear 2023.” Participants are encouraged to pledge to ride as many days as they can during May, for better health and to discover the fun and convenience of active transportation.

Bike Month highlights include a bike rally from 7:30-9 a.m. on Thursday, May 18, from the Orange Metrolink Station to the OCTA Administrative Headquarters at 600 S. Main St. in Orange. The bike rally is an approximate 3-mile ride, followed by an event featuring speakers, a free t-shirt for each participant, snacks and raffle prizes. Those planning to participate are asked to RSVP at www.octa.net/bikemonth.
