Our first Tour of Davis, we invite you to come see what the Bike Capital of America and home of the first bike lane in the USA looks like from a bicycle seat. Our non-athletic, casual 12-mile tour takes place in the cool of a Saturday morning.

If you are coming from out of the area, the three-star Hallmark Inn, which has long been the accommodation center for Davis Double riders, is offering National Bicycle Greenway riders discounted room nights! If you pedal Bike Party Davis (a separate event) the previous evening, you can use this lodging opportunity to see what the darkness hid from you as you then see Davis in the light of day!

Davis Commons

Our ride starts  a block from the Hallmark, at Whole Foods, adjacent to the only bike/ped tunnel on the entire Lincoln Hwy. In 1914, the Lincoln became the first coast-to-coast car road, when it connected New York City with San Francisco  (Lessons Learned from America’s First Coast-to-Coast Highway in Building the NBG <link> from  “How America Can Bike and Grow Rich, the National Bicycle Greenway in Action“). At  the Gateway to Davis, at what is also called the Davis Commons,  the small park nestled in between massive old growth shade trees and a handsome wall of business storefronts, Whole Foods will send us on our way with energy food and drink.

Our ride ends at Hot Italian Pizza Bar, also in the Davis Commons,  A  huge sponsor of Davis cycling, they will offer samples of their genuinely nutritious pizza that we can taste before we buy

What could be better?

Celebrate Davis in comfort and bicycle style as you see for yourself what makes Davis such a worthy place to pedal a bike. And why this is the model the National Bicycle Greenway wants to see replicated in all 20 of the Anchor Cities that connect San Francisco with Washington, DC!

With aded thanks to Kens Bike-Ski-Board for making this event possible.
