The Bicycle Coalition will be there to help host the 3rd annual bike parade at Morro Bay’s 4th of July celebration! We’ll have the Bike Valet set up at Tidelands park for you to keep your bike safe while you enjoy the activities until 6:00.
Are you interested in parking bikes at the Bike Valet, and securing the best seats in the house for the fireworks show at 9:00? Sign up to volunteer!
The bike parade meets at the rock at 12:30 pm before we take off at 1:00, along the embarcadero to Tidelands park, where there are fun things happening all day until the fireworks begin at 9:00. View a map of the easy parade ride here.

The City of San Luis Obispo is in the process of updating the Land Use and Circulation element of the City’s General Plan. These parts of the plan relate specifically to creating a guide for future development, preservation and mobility (how we get around) San Luis Obispo.
This Land Use and Circulation update is part of the City’s General Plan, the blueprint for the future. It is representative of the values and vision of the community, and your opinion matters.
Our local governments know we people are interested in more bicycle connectivity in SLO and beyond, but they might not know that a majority of people want these improvements. This is your chance to have your voice heard and help increase the number of bikeways locally.
Wednesday May 16th is the first public workshop for this update, and you are invited to attend and speak up on behalf of better bikeways in San Luis Obispo. The Bicycle Coalition will be there, on behalf of our 600 members, to share our vision for better bicycle facilities in the city.
If you can’t attend the workshop, we’d encourage you to take their online survey to share your support for bicycles in the city. All responses are anonymous, and can have a large impact on the update of the plan. Take the survey here.
When: Wednesday May 16th, 6:30 pm Where: The Monday Club, 1815 Monterey St, SLO (map) Why: Help shape the vision of connectivity in San Luis Obispo
