Details

Join San Jose Bike Party on Friday, July 4th in The Rose, White, and Blue Parade!
We’ll meet up on the grass in front of Lincoln High School starting around 8:00AM. Bike Decoration Station will be open from 8am-9am.
Everyone needs to be in place at our starting location* by 9:15am - and ready to patiently wait for the parade to roll out around 9:45am.
SJBP/GiDM are Parade Contingent #3; which basically means - we line up in front of the high school. There's a bike decoration station on the front lawn of Lincoln High School that opens at 8am. (decorations provided by SHPNA)
(SEE MAP IN COMMENTS)
Important things to note:
THIS IS A PARADE. They are super fun - but be ready to stop a lot, wait and roll very slowly. EXTRA PATIENCE REQUIRED.
Bring sunscreen, water, and snacks.
A parasol/umbrella is also highly recommended.
This is a great opportunity to bring your kids to bike party if they have the patience level for a lot of waiting/idle time before and also during the event.
Please arrive early enough to find parking as needed and get yourselves saddled up. Remember that the starting point (Dana/Shasta) and the ending point (Race/Alameda)are not the same location. Be prepared for street closures!
If you are sans kiddos - consider parking in a centralized location and ride over to the high school; or take transit; or ride from home.
Costumes and Decorations are always optional – but always fun! There is a free bike decoration station at our meet up location on the front lawn at Lincoln HS - arrive early to decorate.
Please check your bikes, scooters, skates, boards, and unicycles ahead of time; and bring tubes/pumps/tools to support yourself as needed.
