The community is invited to participate in a community bike ride hosted by the Orange County Cycling Business Coalition, in partnership with the City of Irvine, Friday, June 6. 

Riders of all ages can participate in the Community Bike Tour, opting for a 5-mile ride loop or a 25-mile ride along Irvine’s bikeways.

City staff are dedicated to enhancing and expanding the trail network, with two Class IV protected bikeways added in Irvine and six additional protected bikeways planned this year.
