Bike to School Day Huge Success in 2025
On Thursday, May 15th, 2025, schools across the Bay Area celebrated Bike to School Day (B2SD) in conjunction with the Bay Area’s Bike to Wherever Day. In Alameda County, the event was organized by the Alameda County Safe Routes to Schools Site Coordination team at Transform. Bike to School Day is an opportunity for students, families, and school staff to come together as a community and spread the joy of biking. Across Alameda County, 69 schools participated, with approximately 2,340 students biking or rolling to school.
Many schools went above and beyond to celebrate Bike to School Day. A few notable activities included:
- Yu Ming Charter (Alameda County Office of Education) launched its first bike train to the middle school campus, in addition to holding its regular elementary school bike train.
- Bay Farm (Alameda USD) had the highest number of bike riders, with 178 students arriving at school by bike.
- Lincoln High (San Leandro USD) started their bike train by visiting the energizer station at the San Leandro BART station.
- Edison Elementary (Alameda USD) had three different bike trains, with the largest having 20 participants.
Thank you to all the volunteers, school staff, and students who made the 2025 Bike to School Day fabulous!
