    Obviously Bike Bakersfield's favorite outdoor activity is cycling! Our favorite places to ride include: the full 32 miles of Bakersfield’s wonderful bike path, out around HartPark, Panorama, and just commuting to work.

     Though none of us are mountain bikers (yet), the Southern Sierra Fat Tire Association showed us some of the awesome trails up the canyon at their 20^th annual Keyesville Classic. If you’re interested in finding great trails and people to ride with you definitely need to contact them because they’ll make you love mountain biking as much as they do.

    Unfortunately, there aren't many places to legally ride BMX unless you’re going to the Metro BMX track on North Chester. Bike Bakersfield is currently working with our local BMX flatland and freestyle riders to help remedy this problem.

    This is one of the most exciting times of the year for Bike Bakersfield because May is National Bike Month. Bike to Work Day, Commuter Stands, and other fun activities such as our Full Moon Ride and Criterium Race will be going on during the month of May to celebrate cycling.  We hope to see you out there and don't forget ... Get on your bikes and ride!
