East Bay Biking

We formed LiveTheBay.org to create structured support for our growing community and partner with organizations making a difference in outdoor access and education. Those first ten years taught us something profound: there's an incredible appetite for connecting our diverse Bay Area communities through cycling. We've proven that ambitious rides can bring people together, challenge their perceived limitations, and create lasting impact through charitable partnerships.

The Vision: Transforming Bay Area Cycling

As we look to the next decade, we see The Bay Ride becoming the catalyst for a transformative cycling movement. Imagine a synchronized day of celebration spanning the entire Bay, where each community we ride through hosts their own cycling festival. From San Francisco to Oakland, Marin to San Jose, cities come alive with bike-centric events, family rides, and advocacy initiatives.

Our goal is ambitious but achievable: making the Bay Area the premier cycling metropolis in America.

This means:

• Uniting cycling advocacy groups under a shared mission
• Creating a annual region-wide celebration of cycling culture
• Advocating for connected, safe cycling infrastructure
• Building bridges between communities through cycling
• Inspiring the next generation of Bay Area cyclists

We're not just organizing a ride; we're building a movement to transform how people think about and experience cycling in our region. The Bay Ride is the spark that brings communities together, demonstrates what's possible, and leads the way toward a more bike-friendly Bay Area.
