Come out this Friday at 5:30pm starting from the Arcata Plaza for a fun, relaxing bike ride around town before Arts Arcata.  We'll finish at City Hall for the Bike Art exhibit installed for May Bike Month.  Bring a bike, helmet, and friends!

Eureka Bike to Work Day

Green Wheels will host a holiday community bike ride before Arts Arcata on Friday December 11 at 5:30pm starting from the Arcata Plaza. All ages welcome! Bring a helmet, lights, festivity, and friends.

This Halloween, Green Wheels participated in the Arcata Main Street trick or treat event around the Plaza.  We handed out healthy and fun snacks to trick or treaters and decked out our "monster bikes" for a ride around town.  Check out the fun pictures!

This morning I was making breakfast and a great story came on NPR Morning Edition about cyclists taking back the streets in Tijuana, Mexico - over 300 participants every Wednesday night helping to increase awareness of cycling - so cool!  Here is the link.
