Find a Bike to Work Day energizer station.

Bike to Work Day — coming up on Thursday, May 12 — is the Bay Area’s biggest annual day dedicated to bicycling as a way of life.

Students, staff and faculty are encouraged to join hundreds of fellow riders en route to the Berkeley campus. And to share the ride on social media, using #Bike2Berk .

Energizer stations will be located throughout the East Bay. At the Sproul Plaza station at the corner of Bancroft Way and Telegraph Avenue (open 7:30 to 10 a.m.), collect a free bag of bike-friendly swag, enter a raffle, test drive an ebike, and register your bike with UCPD.

For those who work at Richmond Field Station, the energizer station will be located on the San Francisco Bay Trail.
