Celebrate Bike Month

There’s something special about cruising through Ventura on two wheels, especially this time of year. According to the *Ventura Breeze*, May is National Bike Month, and our city is rolling out the red carpet (or maybe the green bike lane) for everyone—from daily commuters to folks dusting off their cruiser for the first time in years. Whether you’re pedaling along the beach path, exploring downtown’s hidden alleys, or mapping a new route through the neighborhoods, this month is all about rediscovering our community at a slower, sunnier pace.

What I love about this effort is how it’s not just about exercise—it’s about connection. Ventura’s bike-friendly streets and growing network of paths make it easier to run errands, grab coffee on Main Street, or wave hello to a neighbor without ever starting the car. The *Breeze* points out that the goal is to help residents tap into the cycling resources already around them, like local repair shops, group rides, or even just a safe place to park your bike. So grab a helmet, pump up those tires, and join the fun. Your town is waiting to be seen from a whole new seat.
