SJBP relies on riders like YOU to help us test the route before we launch each big event.
Join us on Sunday, April 5 (Easter) as we preview/test the route for April's If 6 Was 9 Ride!
Gathering begins at 230pm
Wheels hit the street at 3pm
Start Location: Municipal Rose Garden (Naglee & Dana; San Jose)

These small group test rides are the perfect way to:
• meet new riders
• catch up with old friends
• get in some miles
• help us fine-tune the magic ✨
While you’re pedaling, we’ll count on you to help spot potential route hazards. Your feedback helps keep Bike Party safe and smooth for the full ride next month.
👀 Things to watch out for:
– road or bike lane construction
– hazardous railroad crossings
– poorly signed lane changes
– tricky turns
– problematic regroup spots
– debris in the road
– dangerous traffic patterns
We’ll stop at our prospective regroup spots (20–30 minutes each) to test flow and vibes.
Bike Party is awesome because YOU ROLL OUT WITH US.
Join us. Bring your crew. Bring your whimsy.
#ComeAsYouAre #DontForgetYourBike

PLEASE RIDE PREDICTABLY.
PLEASE LIGHT UP YOUR BIKE.
Headlights are required by law and tail lights are strongly suggested. We highly recommend lighting up your whole bike — neon, glow, stripes, spots, socks on shocks… why not?! Being seen can save your life. Plus… spectacle is encouraged. 🌟
How We Ride
If you follow these rules, Bike Party stays safe and positive for riders, drivers, pedestrians, and the community:
• Ride sober
• Stop at red lights
• Stay to the right
• Pack your trash
• Roll past conflict
• Be nice
Remember: you are responsible for your own behavior. All participants ride at their own risk.
What is San Jose Bike Party?
We’re a rolling party that travels 15–20 miles by bicycle (or scooter, unicycle, tricycle, roller skates, etc.) through the streets of San Jose and the South Bay on the third Friday of every month. Each month features a different starting location and route that stays (somewhat) secret until the week of the ride!
We break the ride into three segments with two party stop regroups where you can dance it out with Guerillaz In Da Mixx.
Want to help make the magic happen? Message us! We need volunteers to:
– help guide turns
– ride RAVEN trash trikes
– help plan each month’s ride
