Thousands of people across the San Diego region participated in SANDAG Bike Anywhere Day on Thursday morning, with 11,342 visits recorded at 116 pit stops. This year's turnout represents a 13% increase in participation compared to last year and marks the highest participation since the COVID-19 pandemic.
From Oceanside to Tijuana, pit stops featured fun activities, and participants received official SANDAG Bike Anywhere Day 2026 t-shirts, bike maps, snacks, and refreshments.
This year, eligible registrants were automatically entered into the Bike Anywhere Day 2026 Sweepstakes for a chance to win one of five e-bikes, courtesy of Ridepanda. The sweepstakes is now closed, and winners will be contacted by SANDAG on Friday, May 22.
SANDAG has hosted the annual event for more than 30 years, encouraging people to bike as a fun, sustainable, and healthy way to get around. With more than 1,800 miles of bikeways in the region, SANDAG continues to invest in new infrastructure. Eighteen miles of bikeways are currently under construction, and we expect to break ground on five more miles in the next two years.
In addition to Bike Anywhere Day, SANDAG is celebrating National Bike Month with free bike classes and group rides. To learn more about Bike Month activities, visit SANDAG.org/bikemonth.
