How to Lock Your Bike Clinic: Come to a clinic to learn how to lock your bike securely to prevent your bike from being stolen. Clinic time TBD.

Can you beat the records? Participate in this and other fun bike activities hosted by Cupertino Safe Routes to School and West Valley Community Services.

Art and Poetry: Bring your creativity!

The Youth Environmental Power Initiative will be hosting a couple of bike-related art activities. Decorate the Bike Fest with your dreams! Create a flag that illustrates your vision of the Regnart Creek Trail, and how you hope to spend time on it once its construction is complete.
