Marin County Gears Up: A Week of Cycling, Transit, and Community Connections
As someone who’s watched Marin County’s transportation scene grow and shift, I can’t help but get excited when new opportunities pop up for folks to connect through bikes, buses, and ferries. This week, especially around May 26, 2026, feels packed with events stretching from our own neighborhoods to San Francisco and Oakland.

It’s all about bikes, public transit, and, honestly, just getting out there together. Maybe you’re a cyclist who loves the Mill Valley to Sausalito route. Or maybe you commute daily on the Larkspur ferry to San Francisco. Families in Novato or San Rafael might be looking for something fun and a little educational. There’s a bit of everything in the mix.
Upcoming Events: Your Weekly Guide to Marin’s Mobility Movements
Here’s a handpicked list of what’s happening. These events are all about building skills, connecting with the community, and learning more about cycling and transit.
We’re seeing more people get involved, whether it’s on busy San Francisco streets or the quieter roads in Tiburon.
Tuesday: Insights and Advocacy in San Francisco
Kick off your week with something thought-provoking. On Tuesday, the SPUR Urban Center in San Francisco (654 Mission Street) will host a talk from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. called “Management Lessons from San Francisco.”
The discussion digs into three big transformation efforts in the city. The ideas could inspire planning and development here in Marin, maybe even spark new projects in places like Fairfax or Corte Madera.
Later that evening, San Francisco Bicycle Coalition (SFBike) members can join their board meeting from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. It’s on Zoom, so just register to get the link.
If you’re curious about cycling advocacy, this is a chance to see it in action. Marin cyclists might pick up a few ideas, too—kind of in the same spirit as the Tiburon Cycling Club.
Wednesday: Celebrate Pride on Two Wheels in Oakland
Wednesday brings a burst of color and community. Bike East Bay is throwing a Pride Bike Decorating Party at the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center (3207 Lakeshore Avenue) from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Sure, it’s over in Oakland, but the vibe—celebrating inclusivity and cycling—is something Marin can definitely get behind. Picture jazzing up your own bike, whether it’s your daily ride from San Rafael or your weekend cruiser from Sausalito.
Thursday: Commutes, Games, and Community Rides
Thursday’s lineup is all about getting moving. Early birds and dedicated commuters can join the UCSF Bike Bus at 8:00 a.m. for an 8:15 a.m. roll-out to Mission Bay.
For details on where to start, check UCSF’s website. It’s a cool example of collective commuting—imagine seeing something like this take off between Novato and Greenbrae.
Later on, Bike East Bay keeps the momentum going. Starting at Rockridge BART (5660 College Avenue), the Bike Month Wrap Party and group ride kicks off at 5:00 p.m.
The ride heads to an Oakland baseball game, playfully dubbed “Bike to the Ballers.” It’s a fun way to blend cycling with local entertainment. I mean, why not ride to a game, a farmers market, or a concert? That’s the kind of energy we need more of around here.
Saturday: Empowering Young Cyclists in San Francisco
Saturday wraps up this eventful week with something genuinely useful for families. The Safe Routes to School team is hosting a Flat Fix Clinic for Students and Families at the Marina Branch Public Library in San Francisco (1890 Chestnut Street) from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.
Learning to fix a flat tire is such a handy skill for any young cyclist. It helps them handle minor issues on their own and gives them a real boost in confidence.
I can’t help but appreciate cycling safety initiatives like this. They remind me of the efforts by Marin Safe Routes to School programs in places like Larkspur and Mill Valley.
If you know about other cycling or transit events coming up in Novato, San Rafael, Mill Valley, Sausalito, Tiburon, Larkspur, Corte Madera, Fairfax, Greenbrae, or anywhere else in Marin County, please send them in. It’s always great to spotlight local projects that encourage sustainable transportation.
