On May 14, tens of thousands of cyclists rode to work, school, or wherever for Bike to Wherever Day. Big thanks to everyone who participated! If you visited a Contra Costa Energizer Station, you might even be in our BTWD gallery. 🔗⬇️ https://t.co/i5H53v0Xj4 @CCTA @BikeEastBay

[BART @SFBART]

BART will provide four trains with limited stops before regular BART service begins for Bay to Breakers on Sunday, May 17.

The special service will get race participants to Embarcadero Station around 7am.

[511 CCTA @511ccta]

Some afternoon Energizer Stations have special treats - like smoothies, Mexican sorbet & even a Bike Rodeo.

You can still pick up a free Bike to Wherever Days tote bag at afternoon Energizer Stations (while supplies last).

Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek all have Energizer Stations which are open in the middle of the day.

Happy Bike to Wherever Day! Energizer Stations are up and running across the Bay Area. Here's a photo of the biggest 511 CCTA Energizer Station (with our friends at EBRPD) and our first visitor of the morning. If you're in Walnut Creek, we're at the intersection of the Contra Costa Canal & Iron Horse Trails. Selfies with the BTWD photo frame are always free (as are the snacks and high fives). If you can't visit us, find an Energizer Station near you: https://t.co/dbu4PrF3kd #BTWD2026 @ccta

BART ENERGIZER STATIONS: Tomorrow (Thu.) morning, many Contra Costa BART Stations will give cyclists the chance to grab refreshments & a free Bike to Wherever Days tote. Stop by before boarding BART or biking elsewhere.
