May is Bike Month in the Sacramento region, an invitation to try bicycling one day.

The annual effort to get people out of their cars and try pedaling is scheduled during May, in part, because it is one of the best months to bicycle in Sacramento — after the winter rains and before the summer heat.

April is also a pretty good month to bicylce. To that end, rest stops will be in place this month to promote biking in May.

Bicyclists are urged to look for “Energizer Stations” along key commuting routes in the Sacramento area. Most of the stations will be set up along the American River Bike Trail.
