This fun annual event returns to celebrate bicycling as a safe, healthy, and sustainable way to get around town.
Organizers have planned free activities all month long for riders of all ages and abilities. Helmets (required for youth under 18), bikes in good working order, and bike lights (for night events) are strongly encouraged.
“The City is pleased to once again support Bike Month and we encourage Pasadena residents and visitors to enjoy all that Pasadena has to offer while pedaling a bicycle,” says Pasadena Department of Transportation Director Joaquin Siques. He adds, “Bike to Work Day occurring May 16th is a great way to try commuting to work by bicycle and we hope to see people at our rest-stop at City Hall that morning.”

Luke Lamperti is set to make his Grand Tour debut at the Giro d’Italia next month, with Soudal Quick-Step team boss Patrick Lefevere sending the neo-pro to Italy for the first three-week race of the season.
“I’m very curious to see Luke Lamperti in the Giro d’Italia. It took a long time to find an American who fits in our team and I think he’s the type of rider who can fit with us. He’s also a rider who is also for the Classics in the future,” Lefevere told GCN in a recent interview.
Lamperti, 21, signed for the Belgian squad at the start of the year, inking a two-year deal to propel himself into the WorldTour. The American made a name for himself as a U23 rider on Trinity Racing with a breakout season in 2023. He won a stage at the Giro Next Gen, the Rutland-Melton CiCLE Classic in the UK, and became the US national criterium champion.
This year he picked up several impressive early season podium spots before cutting his cloth in the Spring Classics as part of the experienced Soudal squad. He scored a highly credible seventh in Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne but was mainly utilized as a support rider and lead-out rider for Tim Merlier.
