Santa Cruz Biketober officially rolled off the start line on October 1st and goes for the whole month! With everything going on in the world, getting out on your bike can help bring some positivity and joy into your life, even if it feels a little like the apocalypse out there. 

Whether you are new to biking or ride every day, there is some fun in here for everyone. Get some fresh air (fires notwithstanding), connect with your family, get your heart pumping, or simply get from point a to b with no emissions. Some of us are commuting to work, others are working from home, so get out for whatever ride feels good to you and help UCSC and Santa Cruz County mobilize thousands of community members to get out on two wheels this October. 

TAPS' parnter, Ecology Action has Santa Cruz Biketober running all month long with weekly prizes to local bike shops for logging just one ride a week, as well as a cool workshop covering the need-to-knows for riding your bike in the city. Check it all out and register at lovetoride.net/santacruz 

Happy pedaling!
