Bike Parade Earth Day Celebration at Polliwog Park

Join us at the 19th Annual in Manhattan Beach.

We'll kick of the day celebrating clean, green, zero emission bicycle transportation with a family friendly one-mile long Bicycle Parade to the park. This police motorcycle escorted ride last year was a huge hit with everyone who participated, so be sure to join us this year.

Riders must ride safely, wear a helmet, sign a waiver form, obey all traffic laws, stop at both stop signs on the route and they will receive an Earth Day SBBC commerative safety wrap.

Download the individual or group waiver form now!

We will have a staggered start; roadies first, commuters, strand cruisers and families AND we will maintain a VERY easy going, social pac.  This is NOT a race, it's a fun parade.

The ride starts promptly at 10:30, with the Police stopping traffic on Marine Ave and Redondo Ave, at that point all riders should proceed South on Redondo Ave with caution!

The Parade route goes down Redondo Ave, with a right turn on Manhattan Beach Blvd, rider must stay to the right and then a right turn at the South/West corner of Pollywog Park, at the "Orange" metal maintenance gate.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS to help with the bicycle valet and to help at our outreach and information table. The work is fun and easy and it's a great chance to meet your fellow South Bay bicycle lovers and enthusiasts. Please help us spread the word about the South Bay Bicycle Master Plan and the South Bay Bicycle Coalition's work.  Please email mrjoe@mrjoe.com if you're able to volunteer some time.
