Mission

Our mission is to educate and advocate for the safe use of
bicycles as a viable and sustainable means of
​transportation and enjoyment.
We are creating an exceptional cycling community.

​INITIATIVES

Bike Racks
“Having the attractive bike racks just adds to your Downtown . . . If we’re asking people to ride their bikes downtown to be involved, to come have lunch or anything else, we want to give them a safe place to lock their bikes up. It goes hand in hand”

​- Kathryn Siddle, Chair
Bike Valet
Leave your car at home and hop on your bicycle!  Head down to the Lodi Farmer's Market on Thursday evenings and park your bike at the FREE Bike Lodi Valet located on the corner of Oak Street and School Street. We also host popular Bike Lodi Valets at the 4th of July Pancake Breakfast and Zinfest each year. If you'd like a Bike Lodi Valet at your event, please feel free to reach out!
Bike Rodeo
The World of Wonders Science Museum, San Joaquin County Public Health, and Bike Lodi held its first Bike Rodeo in 2017. T-shirts and goodie bags were given to all participants.  Young cyclists were taught road safety tips and guided through obstacle courses. Bike Lodi continues to host Bike Rodeos at local schools in the Lodi area! If you'd like to see a Bike Rodeo at your school, please reach out!

Themed Rides

Every fall Bike Lodi organizes the Sandhill Crane Ride.  Cyclists meet in Woodbridge and head out to the Sandhill Crane Sanctuary for a private viewing of hundreds of migrating birds as they land for the evening.  The riders are guided by Bike Lodi volunteers making sure no one is left behind and arrive safely back in Woodbridge.  Put this event on your calendar for next year.  You won't want to miss this! Other popular rides include the Park-to-Park Ride held annually in about September.

Bike Advocates

Bike Lodi advocates for grant funding and local government support of bike lanes and transportation policy. If you're enjoying the new bike racks in town and you'd like to see more, Bike Lodi is a 501(c)(3) and accepts donations! 

​​Come join us at our next Bike Lodi meeting, generally held at 6pm on the last Monday of every month at the Lodi Public Library, and get involved with advocating for bicycle tourism, bicycle safety, and bicycle related events! 

Bike to Work Day

​Leave the car at home, dust off the bike, and enjoy your commute for once!

The City of Lodi, San Joaquin Council of Governments Dibs, and Bike Lodi partner each year for a day in May to host Bike to Work Day. Volunteers and sponsors ​generously donate coffee to go with home-baked goods and snacks. This event is open to all, so ride on by before school or work. 

Lodi Greenline

A rail-to-trail project transforms an unused rail corridor into a vibrant public place.  When converted into green space, Lodi’s unused Union Pacific spur line will become a valuable community facility, as well as a new economic driver in the region. These corridors are a natural fit for bicycle and pedestrian travel, having gradual grades and marked crossings. Through a process known as railbanking, the railroad can retain ownership of the corridor in perpetuity while permitting use of the right-of-way as a bicycling and walking trail. 
  • As of May 2019, Doug Bojack of Bike Lodi secured more than $80,000 for the City of Lodi to conduct a feasibility study for the Greenline rails-to-trails project!

Lodi Bike Routes

Bike Lodi has created 22 routes for your riding pleasure.  Cycle through Lodi's wine country region!  Pick from winery destination rides, Delta excursions or head to the foothills.  Downloadable maps to RidewithGPS and Garmin are available.
Reporting Road Conditions
The ​Street Story website is available for anybody in California to use to report unsafe conditions, near-misses, and good and bad street designs.
