Join us Saturday, May 21, 2022! The City of Menlo Park Safe Routes to School program is partnering with the Silicon Valley Bike Coalition to put on a free family bike skills class. This event is open to bike riders of all ages to teach them crucial cycling safety skills. The event will start at 10 a.m. at the Belle Haven Branch Library, with a short ride to the new Meta Park to perform the skills class. This is a great opportunity to not only learn some new biking skills, but to also check out the new park and bike bridge over Bayfront Expressway. Register for the event.

Did you know, Caltrain has a bike shed at the Menlo Park Caltrain station to park your bike if you commute by rail? Get started by filling out an application. Additionally, Caltrain plans to e-lockers at the station as another form of secure bike parking. These lockers are operated digitally using a BikeLink card, similar to those at other Caltrain and BART stations.
