Get Ready for Bike Month

This spring, Pierce Trips invites you to hop on your bike to destinations like work, school, the library, park, or store. 

Looking for some guidance? You can find bicycle commuting guides, bike maps, bike parking tips, bike events and more at PierceTrips.com/Bike.  

Pierce Trips is hosting the Bike Everywhere Challenge, May 1-31, encouraging folks to log their bicycle trips on the Pierce Trips Calendar at PierceTrips.com. You can participate as an individual or form a bike team with your friends or coworkers. Those who take and log at least 10 bike trips in the Pierce Trips Calendar are automatically entered to win prizes, including gift cards for individuals, and a pizza party for the top performing bike teams. 

To join the Bike Everywhere Challenge, create an account or login to the Pierce Trips Calendar and log your bike trips during May.
