Estamos Unidos 🫶🏽

Thank you to everyone who came out for our Night Market Ride last Friday in collaboration with @lillordagbikeride annual Taco Fredawg 🌮🚲✨ We were excited to welcome riders from Costa Mesa, Irvine, San Clemente, La Habra, and across Orange County as we rolled through some of Santa Ana’s historic neighborhoods, including Willard, Artesia Pilar, Santanita, Edna Park, and West Floral Park… on our way to @sa_17th.nightmarket Along the route, riders got to experience just a glimpse of the rich history, culture, and community that make Santa Ana such a resilient and uniquely vibrant city. A big shoutout to @full_metal_archivist for helping SAAS share fun facts and stories about each neighborhood, helping bring even more meaning to the ride and reminding us what makes Santa Ana such a special place. Parking was a little tricky, but @sa_17th.nightmarket graciously accommodated more than 40 riders. Thank you for welcoming our crew and helping make for such a fun destination to end the night. A special shoutout as well to the @bicycletree for letting us start and end our ride in a safe and welcoming space that also serves as a cultural hub for so many cyclists here in OC. Spaces like these help foster connection, community, and a shared love for riding. We love opportunities like this to connect communities, celebrate local culture, and experience our city by bike. Thank you to everyone who joined us. We can’t wait to ride with you again soon.

SAAS kicked off Bike Month by serving as bike marshals for the annual May Day March on May 1st. Thank you to all the organizers for putting together such a powerful event, and special thanks to our bike captains who helped guide the group and keep everyone moving safely through the streets and intersections.

It’s time for the 2nd annual TacoFredawg! This year, @saactivestreets is hosting us with a ride around Santa Ana to the night market on 17th and Harbor. Bring some cash because we aren’t sure if they all take card or not. And you may want to bring a lock for your bike (ask @tim.nguyen714 why). Ride at your own risk and read the ride guidelines below: - - - **Ride rules/guidelines** * Bring lights, water, and a good attitude. * Helmets are *strongly encouraged*. * Patch kit or extra tubes recommended. * Have your bikes ready to ride at the appropriate time (6:30pm on Wednesdays, other rides will be specified in social media posts or flyers). * Don’t pass the leader. * Our rides are no-drop, so stay with the group as best as you can but communicate if you need to stop or slow down. * All bikes and abilities are welcome at your discretion. This is a mostly-flat, social-pace ride, but be sure you and your bike are okay riding (or walking) up some occasional short hills.

Un hermoso día compartido en nuestro taller Bici Basics Parte 2 con maravillosas mujeres de la comunidad. Nuestras LCIs tuvieron el honor de aprender juntas mientras compartían conocimientos y información sobre cómo andar en bici más seguras y con confianza. Agradecemos mucho a todas las que nos acompañaron, le dieron con todo al pedal y ayudaron a crear conciencia ciclista practicando la visibilidad, la predictibilidad y las reglas del camino. (Al igual que los conductores, las y los ciclistas tienen los mismos derechos y responsabilidades al compartir la vía con los demás.) Esperamos verlas seguir alcanzando sus metas con sus bicicletas. English A beautiful day spent at our Bici Basics Part 2 workshop with wonderful women from the community. Our LCIs had the honor of learning together while sharing knowledge and wisdom. We truly appreciate everyone who joined us, put the pedal to the metal, and helped raise cycling awareness by practicing visibility, predictability, and the rules of the road. (P.S. Just like drivers, cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities when sharing the road with others.) We hope to see you all continue achieving your goals with your bicycles.
