Keepin’ it wheel during May is Bike Month

So you’re biking to work, the post office, the farmer’s market and the gym this month, and yes, you deserve a cookie (or nine, because you’re burning tons of calories!), but all spin and no play makes Jill a dull girl. Here’s a quick rundown of some standout events for a little diversion in your newly peripatetic lifestyle this month:

Go all-out in reverting to your childhood by dressing up for the Bike Party Sacramento: Superheroes vs. Supervillains Ride and cruising around with your fellow Avengers, Suicide Squad members, etc., on Friday, May 6. The ride leaves from Sutterville Bicycle Company (2365 Sutterville Bypass) at 7 p.m. and is intended for the over-21 crowd. More info can be found at www.facebook.com/events/

On Saturday, May 7, roll out on a bike tour of notable punk-rock sites of importance and their context within the city on the Jane Jacobs Roll: Punk Rock Bike Ride.
