Japantown 125th Anniversary & Obon Ride | San Jose Bike Party

Submitted by the Event Organizer

San Jose Bike Party

San Jose Bike Party is a place to ride bikes, make friends, and have a good time every third Friday of each month at 8 pm. San Jose is the largest city in Northern California, but they are hidden in the suburban sprawl.

It’s time to enjoy the South Bay, ride the streets, and make this place the active and exciting city you want it to be. One of the most unique aspects of San Jose Bike Party is the participation of many kinds of wonderful food vendors. Music Bikes are also a key part of San Jose Bike Party and they encourage anyone interested to come on out with your bicycle-based sound system.

The start up location and route is rotated monthly. Check the SJBP website approximately 24 hours before every ride to get the exact address and route.
