LAKE TAHOE

Tahoe Bike Month returns June 1 with a full month of cycle-centric events, community rides, and a friendly competition encouraging residents and visitors to get on two wheels throughout the Tahoe/Truckee region. Hosted by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) and the Lake Tahoe Bicycle Coalition, Tahoe Bike Month celebrates biking as a fun, healthy, and sustainable way to experience Lake Tahoe.

Throughout June, participants can log rides, join local events, and enter a friendly competition as individuals or teams for weekly prizes donated by local businesses. Riders can register at tahoebikemonth.org and connect their account through a Strava account to track rides and participate in the challenge. Each recorded ride counts as an entry to win prizes, including the grand prize: an ebike donated by Outdoor Gear Lab.

Tahoe Bike Month features events across the region, including bike path cleanups, hands-on bike repair and maintenance workshops, bike-to-school days, group rides, and community celebrations designed for riders of all ages and abilities.

This year, TRPA and partners are also seeking volunteers to help distribute prizes and encourage students who walk and bike to school during Bike, Walk, & Roll to School Week, May 26 to 29. In partnership with TRPA, the California Highway Patrol will also host Bike Rodeos at schools in May where students can practice their new skills through obstacle courses, bike inspections, tire pumping stations, and supervised riding activities.

Event organizers encourage everyone from daily commuters to first-time riders to participate through the month of June.
