We’re teaming up with Alianza por la Movilidad Activa and SALAA for a cross-border ride to PLATFORM_01: Exploring Thresholds, a celebration of cinema, architecture, art, and music at the former Cine Bujazán. First time crossing by bike or old pro, come ride with us.

For one day, the old Cine Bujazán becomes a gathering place for film and architecture, with talks, workshops, exhibitions, performances, live music, food, and local producers.

The ride

Meet at 1:00 PM at the San Diego County Bike Coalition office, 300 15th Street, San Diego. We roll out at 1:30 PM.

It’s about 16 miles to the border, plus about 1.5 miles to the venue in Tijuana, roughly 35 miles round trip. We ride at a moderate, no-drop pace (about 12 to 14 mph) with regroup stops.

Getting back: the group leaves PLATFORM_01 together at 9:00 PM and rides back to San Diego. If you stay later, you’ll head home on your own.

Bring your passport or passport card. You’ll need it to get back into the U.S.

Bring front and rear lights, since we ride back after dark.

Riders under 18 must ride with a parent or guardian. E-bikes are welcome.
